        Floor touching the outside face?

        Turn on hidden geometry and post a pic

        And put a section there so we can see internals

          her ya go


          Here is is, clear as day.


          Her is the inside (no floor) and its even inside.


          the highlight : if I delete it and then draw a square to fill it in once I move away from ship they appear again, its a loosing battle


          hidden geometry on no different

            You didn't post an image with hidden geometry turned on. πŸ˜’ Post one with edges turned on, too.

                  No, he means the model or at least a section of it where the problem exists.

                    I expect the dots you are seeing are cause by the back face color showing through at the seams but that's only a guess. You could try changing the back face color to white although it would probably show through somewhere else. You still haven't posted the requested screen grabs, though. πŸ˜’ The model (SKP) file would be best.

                        As I suspected, it is the back face color showing through at seams. You can change the back face color to white and they won't show ion the white areas but they'll probably show in the areas you've painted black.

                        Capture.PNG

                        I changed the back face color to magenta which makes your "dots" really stand out and confirms the problem. Turn the edges back one and those dots generally won't show because the edges will hide them.

                          As Dave says...
                          What you are seeing is that the 'edges' of some faces are displaying where they are coincident with the visible face of other parts...
                          Much of your model is made as if it were constructed from a 'thin card' - with the the parts having no real thickness, and therefore edges and faces can be coincident.
                          This means that if say a deck has a bulkhead below it, then that bulkhead's top edge can show through when the edge/faces are different colors.
                          In the real world the deck [and all other parts] would all have real thicknesses - for even a single sheet of metal is several mms or even cms thick.
                          So giving your parts real thicknesses will avoid many of these issue, because then the correctly sized and positioned edges of objects will no longer coincident with the visible face of abutting objects...

                              My guess is you've a pretty inadequate card

                                As Rich suggests, you've probably got an inadequate card. If this stuff is important to you, try upgrading your hardware.

                                  Processor is Intel(r) Core 3 Duo, with a memory of 3.00GB and its a 32-bit operating system.

                                  As I said iv built around 40+ models and this is the very first time iv seen this before, and they are well bigger in all ways with a lot more detail.

                                  The other ship (below) is bigger, no problem at all while building.

                                    This is a graphics card issue not CPU.

                                    I'd bet a beer we could go through every model you've created and find the same issue. Just turn on the edges while you're working and they won't show. Besides, they don't hurt anything while you're drawing, anyway.
