Thank you for the fast response. The latest snapshot works great and fixes the crash.<br>
<br>
I am still setting up the problem incorrectly. Here is what I have now:<br>
<br>
<br>
Merge "square";<br>
Line Loop(1) = {1};<br>
<br>
squareWidth = 1.5;<br>
halfSquareWidth = squareWidth/2.0;<br>
<br>
lc = 0.3;<br>
Point(1001) = {-halfSquareWidth,-halfSquareWidth,0.0,lc};<br>
Point(1002) = {-halfSquareWidth, halfSquareWidth,0.0,lc};<br>
Point(1003) = { halfSquareWidth, halfSquareWidth,0.0,lc};<br>
Point(1004) = { halfSquareWidth,-halfSquareWidth,0.0,lc};<br>
Line(1001) = {1004,1003};<br>
Line(1002) = {1003,1002};<br>
Line(1003) = {1002,1001};<br>
Line(1004) = {1001,1004};<br>
<br>
Line Loop(1005) = {1002,1003,1004,1001};<br>
<br>
Surface Loop(1006) = {1005, 1};<br>
<br>
<br>
I think it is close to working but I get the warning message: "1D mesh not forming a closed loop".<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Aaron<br>

This cannot work: boolean operations can only be applied to CAD entities. It should not crash though - and it does not on my machine. Can you try with the latest snapshot?<br>
<br>
You can still produce a mesh like the one you want. With the built-in engine, simply
<br>
<br>
- load the mesh, which should contain the bounding surface mesh<br>
<br>
- define the exterior "Surface Loop" where the interior surfaces are the bounding surfaces (discrete)<br>
