What's the point of doing complex unions if literally nothing is solvable. What's so difficult about cutting a union in half? I don't see the how difficult that could possibly be. Then, it tells me to offset them...what is the point of negating them, and unioning them if they're offset? That defeats the purpose of the union.
I know ROBLOX will do as they usually do, and do nothing about this...but at least I can say I tried. |

The software which they're using to calculate the unions isn't their own - It's licensed out. Whilst some of the fault lies on their end, some of the fault also lies on the other party.
Whilst the current system is fiddly, it just needs time to evolve. If you have an issue which you believe shouldn't be an issue - send them the item, telling them the issue. How do you expect ROBLOX to improve the system if they don't have anything they can use to test if the issue has been fixed?
I disagree with you though - Unions are incredibly useful. One way you can get over some hurdles it by unioning in a different order, or building bigger (and shrinking the resulting product down). |

Although they can be useful, you can get plugins to shrink models as well
I find it annoying how you can go in an empty space in a union, models on the other hand are a different story |

| It's not entirely useless. I've used it for minor details that couldn't be done with regular building, and I use it when I'm too lazy to do math when building. |

| I didn't mean it as entirely useless, but if they rarely work...what's the point? |

it actually makes stuff faster
like 1000 parts unioned -- 1 part and you get to drag all 1000 parts at once |

| Mmm, I can make intricate stuff, union it and that's a few dozen welds I don't have to worry about. And it's tidier in general. |
