      Your fix worked the first time through. I then saved each item as a component and then opened the component as a new file in order to have 2 part models. Now SolidSolver does not work on the component(I get the fix error again when trying to save. I also reopened a backup file to try and start over, this time SolidSolver blew up Sketchup and sent an error report. I am going backwards. [I did create the original 2 pieces by copying and mirroring (Flip along green, rotate blue]

        You also seem to have scaled the instance by some large amount !
        Here's a fixed version - using instances - scaled back...

          The first image is what I see when I first open the model you attached. The model has open spaces. The 2nd image is the Sketchup crash report when I run Solid Solver on this model.


          Open faces

            Where did those missing faces come from???

            Why do you need to run SolidSolver ?
            The component is already a solid as reported in Entity Info ???

            PS:
            This is weird - when I get the SKP back it is faulty !

                I get the same result as the first model. The only opened the file and the faces are missing.

                  Yes, this is very strange.
                  When I get that 2nd SKP back it has holes.

                  I didn't when I uploaded it !

                    I fixed the missing faces and some issues causing non-solidity...
                    This works fine for me...
                    Reopens from my copy without issues - remaining a solid !

                      Yes, This time the file opened properly. I saved the parts separately and they are still good solids. I would appreciate any details on how you fixed these parts.

                      THANKS!

                        I drew over some missing faces' edges and they healed up.
                        However, the one on the shallow-dome part cause a double face to form - it was only zillions of an inch apart - but stopping it being a solid.
                        Because the edges were supporting too many faces !
                        I selected one of those faces and deleted it.
                        Then it reported as a solid.

                        I suspect that there is some incredibly tiny variance in these edges which SketchUp thinks can't support a face - or can - and then adds two faces !
                        Doh !
                        These overlaid faces can some times occur - SolidInspector will show them - but can't fix them...
