![]() No overlaid faces which are all but coplanar but some of the edges will have too many faces. No internal partitions where some edges will have three or more faces. So, no faceless edges, no ledges/shelves/flaps/holes with an edge with one face. HiIn this video, Im preparing a SketchUp 3d model for 3d printable.Please move to 3:38 to check how to make a solid 3d model in SketchUp and make it perfect. It must ‘intersect’ it with the roof, so there are additional edges added where it passes through the roof, and then the unwanted internal parts must be deleted so your group is a single-skin = solid.Ī solid must contain only faces and edges. ![]() As it intersects with the roof on just one edge then it is reported as non-solid. If if it did not intersect with the main part at all then it’d report as a solid BUT 3d printing would probably fail. There is an upstanding part which you have placed passing through the ‘roof’. Now that I know what intermediate shapes to avoid, I can come up with ways to make what I need. Some orders make the process a cake walk, other orders make it nearly impossible to get the desired result. In ketchup, the order matters a great deal. Solid Inspector utility in the right-hand panel. In most drawing programs, order you make individual pieces and bring them together matters little. Tools menu (Select Tools > Outer Shell or Select Tools > Solid Tools and select the other tools from a submenu) Tool palette (macOS) Solids toolbar in the left-hand tray. ![]() Solid-Inspectore will highlight problem geometry.Įven without using it I can see several issues.Īll of the faces in the group are reversed.Įdit it, select one face and use the context-menu to ‘reverse’ it, then immediately ‘orient’ and ll connected faces will flip to match it. To find the Solid Tools, look in the following parts of the SketchUpinterface: Solids toolbar. If you make a group of the geometry that you’d like to be a solid, then its Entity Info contains the word ‘Solid Group’ in the top bar - otherwise it says ‘Group’.
