simmonsstummer 0 Posted November 21, 2016 in Removing hollow / convert to solid Hi, i would like to print a vase and i find out that the special option of spiralization is perfect. But i think that the requirment is that you have a filled solid stl without the hollow space in it. Since i have an stl of which i no longer has the original file to work with and i designed it already with the concave hollow part inside, i think i could not use the spiralization. So: I can i convert my stl to a filled solid? I would like to use meshmixer or if you have suggestions.. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peggyb 136 Posted November 21, 2016 in Removing hollow / convert to solid in Meshmixer you could select the inner surface and delete it. In the selection section you can set a degree angle where the selection stops (crease angle thres). Select a section on top of you vase and hit F (erase and fill). Or delete the inside and use Analysis -> Inspector. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmonsstummer 0 Posted November 21, 2016 in Removing hollow / convert to solid thank you so much! This could help me a lot! But i'm not so familiar with this can you explain better how to use the crease angle thres? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peggyb 136 Posted November 22, 2016 in Removing hollow / convert to solid when you have the selection tool active, there is a submenu on your left. The crease angle thres is a slider to set the degree angle between the triangels (hit W to see the triangles). This means that by default the slider is 0 and it selects everything, When set to 45 the selection stops at this angle and leaves the triangles alone across the 45 degree border.
