Hi Don,
Thanks for reply.
It is a simple square item 100mm x 100mm and 35mm high. Can easily do myself and get it to work. My friend was trying Sketch up - He does lots of architectural drawings and 3D animations - his business, and we are looking at going into producing models to accompany.
It also seems to insinuate that there are two models superimposed - the other 100mm x 80mm but only in the floor area :sad:. He swears he only drew one, so who knows. The tower is in 7 files, and the roof shows as only 100mm x 80mm, but each other is 100mm x 100mm.
This does actually show as such in Nettfab Studio, so I'm inclined to agree with you - its Sketch Up. I actually asked him to use OpenSCAD, but try telling someone how to suck eggs that's been doing it for years :smile:))
Cheers
Garry
Sketchup is great, but it is not a solid modelling (3D manufacturing) tool. Creating solid models with SketchUp is possible, and easier with the pro version, but even then you need to be careful. Missing walls is a classic sign of a non-watertight 3D model.
What kind of shape is it? You might find it easier to do it yourself. If the shape is simple I would use OpenSCAD.
Yes, a picture of the model might be useful.
