  1. Try "Run as Administrator" when starting Cura. That works for me. I started having this issue somewhere around 4.11 (or 4.12)
  2. Cura does not properly recognize some of the models, because they consist of several meshes and it does not know they are the same model. The one on the bottom right for instance, when I imported the model and used mesh fixer to split it into parts I get four parts. The outer shell, the inner shell and two "donuts". Cura does not place infill between the inner and outer shell because it does not see it as a single model. I don't have any recent experience with 3DS max but there should be a way to cut and combine the existing shapes\surfaces into a single mesh.
  3. Hi, just want to start by saying that I am really happy with the solidworks plugin. I think that since installing cura 4.12 the imported models are no longer in fine/custom quality. I've first saved a solidworks model as an stl with custom quality. Low deviation and a small angle tolerance. During import into cura I selected "keep settings unchanged". The imported model shows big facets, while the stl that was saved with the custom settings is really smooth. Any idea's what I can check why this is the case? Attached pictures: solidworks stl save settings and a cura screenshot of two imported (overlapping) models. Both for the same solidworks model, left is the model saved as stl, right is imported using the plugin with 'keep settings unchanged'.
