Want the baseball to hang off of the frame I have seen it on other ornaments, Iâm missing something
Move the baseball over the outer frame so theyâre overlapping, select the baseball and the frame, and click âBoolean Unionâ.
If youâre using âWeldâ, thatâs likely the problem. âWeldâ keeps the outer silhouette of all the input shapes that overlap, and itâs not smart about which things belong to which other things. Iâm going to try to make it smarter, so in cases like yours where everything is grouped nicely, Iâll use that to help decide which parts should go together if I canât work it out myself.
Boolean Union does use the grouping, and only allows two inputs, so itâs much more consistently behaved.
Incidentally, you can also use Boolean Difference, but youâd ONLY select this blue part to subtract from, not the whole ornament:
If you âBoolean Differenceâ (subtract) the ball from that blue part, you end up with the result you want, OR, you âBoolean Unionâ the ball with the whole outer ornament (grouped, like your file is), the result is the same:

As soon as I finish with this current file, i will try it like you explained. Thank you
with the bottom pic where the line goes around baseball, when it cuts it ends up cutting the whole ball out and nothing stays attached. I have done exactly what you described several times thats why I thought I was missing something.
Ralph, I love your fine, clear demonstrations. Although they are not very complicated, there is always a lot of work involved, thank you. I hope all your fine explanations of the LightBurn features are gathered once as a kind of instruction book
Ralph,
Figured out what the issue was. I was doing the union correctly from the beginning, the lines on the ball were too thin which was causing it to get cut so close that it wasnt staying attached. I made the ball thicker and all is good. Thanks for your assistance
