    Without seeing the model it is hard to tell for sure, but chances are the model is "non-manifold", which confuses Cura. Basically Cura looses track of what is "inside" or "outside" the walls of the structure. I always thinks this is a good explanation:

    Your model would need to be "repaired". 3d Builder, which comes with Windows 10 and 11, often does a decent job at repairing meshes (but it too can get confused about what you actually meant the model to be like).
