I wanted to do a difference between two mesh2 objects of the form...

union {
 mesh2 {
  normal-mesh-stuff
 }

 mesh2 {
  vertex_vectors { ... }
  face_indicies { ... }

  inside_vector <0,0,1> inverse
  testure { ... }
 }
}

And I get "Parse Warning: Cannot invert a patch object."

Looks like I set it up exactly like the documentation says, but no joy. :-(

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon

How about:

difference {
 mesh2 {
  normal-mesh-stuff
 }

 mesh2 {
  vertex_vectors { ... }
  face_indicies { ... }

  inside_vector <0,0,1>
  testure { ... }
 }
}
