    There's two possibilities:

    1) Something wrong with the model.

    2) Z setting isn't at zero.

     

    #2 is trivial to fix.  Click on the model and on the left side there are some tools - click on the move tool and it shows the position of the model in x,y,z.  Make sure z is zero.

     

    #1 - more likely the problem.  

     

    Cura has an amazing plugin to test your model to see if something is wrong with it and can repair a very few of the many potential problems:
    In the upper right corner of Cura click "marketplace" and make sure you are on the "plugins" tab and install "Mesh Tools".  Then restart Cura.  Now right click on your model, choose "mesh tools" and first choose
    "check mesh", then "fix model normals" and "fix simple holes" to see if that helps.  Cura doesn't fix most issues so...

    netfabb free repair service is here (you have to create a free account first):

    Here's another service - drag and drop mesh repair service:

    Some people recommend tinkercad - it's free - you import your stl into tinkercad and then export it to a new stl and tinkercad will fix many issues.

    So i've done all the things you mentioned and still the same issues exists

  2. So i found a model online of the spaceX starship and for some reason half the engines on the bottom are gone after the slice on the solid view it is still there but the hole model is pushed down. I have no idea why it does this any help is appreciatet.

     

    I have included a picture of the solid view and a layer view of it and i've also included the model itself.

     

    Using Ultimaker Cura 4.6.2
