HI GUYS, I WAS WORKING ON A MESH IN 3DSMAX THAT STARTED OUT LIFE AS AN *STL FILE. WHEN I USED PRO-BOOLEAN A LARGE PART OF THE MESH DISAPPEARED, WHICH WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CLASS.
THE REASON ONLY A PART OF THE MESH DISAPPEARED WAS THAT IT WAS A SEPARATE 'ELEMENT' AND IT WASN'T CLOSED (IT WAS A CHARACTER MODEL AND HAD SOME OPENINGS AROUND THE MOUTH). IT ALSO HAD A FIT WHEN SOME VERTEXES WEREN'T WELDED.
AFTER I SORTED THOSE ISSUES THE PRO-BOOLEAN WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
TO FIND OUT IF THIS MIGHT BE YOUR PROBLEM USE THE "STL CHECK" MODIFIER ON YOUR MESH; THERE IS A "CHECK" BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF ITS PARAMETERS AND IT'LL SHOW THE ERRORS IN RED LINES IN THE WIREFRAME.
IF ANY SHOW UP YOU CAN LEAVE THE STL CHECK AT THE TOP OF THE STACK AND THEN GO IN AND FIX UP THE PROBLEM (USUALLY BY WELDING VERTEXES OR CREATING NEW POLYS, OR REMOVING ERRANT ONES) AND THEN WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE STL CHECK AT THE TOP OF THE STACK IT WILL RE-RUN THE TEST. SO IT'S REASONABLY QUICK.
CHEERS, HOPE THIS HELPS
