Clip tool crashes Hammer...

[Bleeder]

....when i try and clip spheres. technically maybe it's the sphere tool that's crashing it, because it also crashes when i try to hollow a sphere. Any ideas guys?

That's because hollowing a sphere is an insane thing to do. There are better ways to make a dome if that's what you were trying. If you're clipping it down the middle and not at a weird angle it should be ok.

I hollowed and then clipped a sphere (chopped of about 1/10) with succes. I would never put it in practice, but it shouldn't crash Hammer either.

As long as you're not hollowing out a 16*16*16 sphere with a hundred faces, and a wall thickness of 32, and then bisecting it :naughty:

Basically i'm trying to make a building like in prodigy, with the walls rounded at the corners, and also rounded where they join the roof...i was trying to hollow the sphere so i could clip it so 1/8th was left (think an orange slice cut in half width-wise) and use it to join the two walls and roof together. The sphere was fairly small all things considered....but if i shouldn't be doing it that way, then any suggestions on how i would go about doing that?
