Summary0003958: Boolean Cut not working correctly when using arrays (polar in this case)
DescriptionWhen doing a boolean difference between an object and an array of objects, some of the objects within the array seem to not cut correctly, while others do.

I posted a [url= https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36090]forum question in the Freecad forum[/url], and the problem was reproduced by most users that tested it. Some supplied workarounds, but these are not possible for more complex projects.

This does look like a bug, as it is reproducible. It seems that the more complex the compound objects, the easier it is to reproduce.

The example is the inner portion of a ball bearing model for 3D printing.


Steps To ReproduceThis example has the complexity required to reproduce the bug (most operations in the part workbench - parameters mentioned are changed from the default):
1. Create a torus (r1=36mm, r2=4mm)
2. Create a half sphere (rad=5mm, angle3=180, placement-angle=90, position.X=40mm)
3. Use Draft Array to make a polar array from the half spheres (type=polar, number.polar=16)
4. Fuse the torus and half-sphere-array (using boolean union)
5. Create a smaller full sphere (rad=4.5mm, position.X=40mm)
6. 3. Use Draft Array to make a polar array from the full smaller spheres (type=polar, number.polar=16)
7. Cut the smaller full sphere array from the Fusion object from step 4 using Boolean difference
8. Create a cylinder (rad=37.5mm, position.Z=-5mm)
9. Cut the Cylinder from the "Cut" object from step 7 using Boolean difference
Note that some of the smaller balls did not cutout the inside of the compound object.
(in the example I copied, I changed the NumberX and NumberY values of the arrays from 2 to 1, but that I believe should not have changed the result)
Additional InformationThe model file and a screenshot of the problem are attached.

The reproducibility of the initial simpler problem posted in the forum is "sometimes", this more complex model should result in the bug being reproduced "always".

I re-installed Freecad 0.17 and was able to reproduce the problem in that version. i suspect this problem has been there for a while.
I also selected major because this looks to me like a bug with substance, however, please feel free to change this, as I dont have the reference to know a major from a minor.
