      That is the Layer it is on.

      Does it just say Group?

      Can you share the SketchUp file? You can upload 4mb files here to the forum

      I cant really share it, it is 25mb haha, and I am unsure on how solidsolver works, I have got solid inspector to work but unsure on the solver also It says 'Group (1 in model)'

        If it say group and solid inspector is highlighting errors then it needs more clean up to heal it.

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

          Thanks, What would you suggest? I thought about exporting as STL and using an application to shrink wrap, but I dont know of any free versions πŸ˜•

              Blender has a means of shrink wrapping meshes

              it is annoying as I used my normal methods of designing on sketchup (normally solid) but on this one it isnt solid πŸ˜•

                    So, you either buy a plugin to try and fix

                    You fix it yourself manually

                    You try and learn how to add a Shrink Wrap in Blender

                    You hire someone to do the donkey work

                    You privately share the file with someone who could quickly identify the problem

                    Basically you need either pockets or time.

                      I will look into each one to see which is best, thanks for the help!
