As I'm trying to figure out how to tackle my last question. I really need to know first how to fix the 2 vertices and make the thread solid.

Peggy,
THANK YOU!
Could you please tell me the steps to "combine the solid thread and the cylinder"?
Should I be doing this in Cura or Sketchup?

I'm fairly new to 3d printing. I'll try to get to the problem quickly. I have tried every suggestion I can find, but I'm missing some knowledge. I made a HOLLOW threaded hole in Sketchup that keeps converting to SOLID in a few different slicer softwares I have tried. I have already successfully printed parts like this using the same tool (EP Fasteners & Holes), and they looked and printed hollow. I've tried solid inspector, Netfabb online, Cura, ideaMaker. I even tried to print it anyway and it was printing solid, not hollow. I'm pretty sure my model has a problem, but I just can't figure it out. I could go on, but you get the point. I'm uploading a file that has my part and the threaded hole separately AND a screenshot of the sliced preview. If someone could fix the part, that would be AWESOME! But, I really would like to know how to fix the problem because I'll be doing this type of thing in the future. Help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you both for all of the great information!
I downloaded Meshmixer and have been trying to work on it for an hour or so. I just can't figure it out.
Peggy, would you be able to tell me the steps you did to fix it? I would really like to be able to do it on my own. Please?
