“Some of them are caused by not being careful enough to align your lines on the axes so you have non-planar edges that SketchUp won’t form a face with.” Can you screenshot those? No, I want to print it in about a 1:50 scaling. Right now, it’s basically 1:1 scaling to real life so obviously, that would be ridiculous. I want it to be completely solid on the inside. You may be better going back to your unexploded model and fixing it there when it’s off-axis lines that are the problem, to make it easier to edit in the future. Go through it slowly with SolidInspector, click the problem type then ‘tab’ to cycle through them. Or are you going to have it hollow with a wall thickness? If so, your walls, floors and roofs have zero thickness, so you’d need to give them some thickness.
#SKETCHUP MAKE HOLLOW OBJECT SOLID WINDOWS#
You have different sized bricks on the window cills that look like they’ve been scaled with the windows (not that these would stop it being solid).Īre you going to print the house as one huge lump of plastic the whole volume of the house? That will cost a lot more if you’re getting someone to print it who charges by volume of plastic. You have a bargeboard that tapers up to a point at the top. Some of them are caused by not being careful enough to align your lines on the axes so you have non-planar edges that SketchUp won’t form a face with. If you select one end, you make a shape almost like a cup, but if you select both, you make an object with a hole that travels fully through.You’re on the right track by using Solid Inspector2, but your model has quite a few problems needing fixed. Notice that the thicken tool will give you a smooth hole all the way through with the one where the thickened portion is a separate body, while the other will shell based on the whole object, meaning you don’t get a smooth transition.Īs a general rule, I find this tool works the best when you have an object with “ends” that you can select – this allows you to quickly create a shell. For example – one of these objects was modeled using the extrude tool in join mode, while the other was modeled with the thickened portion being a new body. Notice that this works a bit differently depending on how you model your shapes. Notice that the tool can thicken inward, outward, or both. This works for more complex shapes as well, like this vase shape, simply by selecting the top face. If you were to select the top and bottom of the cylinder, this would shell out just the cylinder walls. If we inspect this, you can see that it creates a solid shape with a thickness with the remaining walls. For example – with our cylinder, if we select the top face, then run the shell tool, it will remove your top face and create a shell of a thickness you dictate with the rest of your object. The first, and probably the easiest, is to activate the tool and select the faces from which you’d like to create a shell. This tool will remove the central material of an object to create a shell from the geometry you have selected. However, sometimes, you want to take a solid and remove the material on the inside, either to make it lighter, or to save on material, or sometimes this is just what the object needs to be, like a cup or a vase. If we were to inspect these objects, for example, you’d see a simple, solid fill inside of them. These are models that are completely enclosed with no holes. Remember that most of what we’ve talked about when working with Fusion 360 has been working with solid models.
