...In the screen shot I see back faces on that component. Does that area have thickness? If not, it is probably the cause of the problem...

True, that skipped my eye actually.

@tig said:

Arrange for all faces to be 'outward looking' i.e. you should never see any blue faces in a solid.

Especially that he said he'd already done this. Which means that a single face object cannot have been fixed not to show reversed faces.

Gaieus/DaveR
about ThomThom's, I will study it & will give you news, thx

TIG
I cannot reverse them, since they are the 'interior' of my component, there is no tickness, so if I understood well I must creat a tickness for having external white face and internal blue one ?

p.s. I saw one issue concerning the circles, it seems they are not totaly complet..but I dont know how to modify them..

p.s. I succeeded to find an optional solution, I made it handly and filled up the empty spaces with the pen tool ''L'' (after I can build all other details around the component)

here is the component no3 (reactor)

REACTOR.skp

Do you understand now why that component as you drew it could never be a "solid" component? It's exactly what we were telling you.

[TIG]

It is quite possible to make two components or groups that are NOT 'solid'... but when they are exploded, and then saved as a new component or group they could merge and become 'solid'.
Because their various faces/edges will merge and then meet the rules about 'solidness' that I set out in my earlier post.

[erzane]

yes I see now

p.s. need I install TT_LIB.2 for use thomthom's plugin ?
I have this in my desktop
but when I put it on (prog.files/google/sketchup/plugins.
I open sketchup and it give me an advertising like the plugin is not functional or not work/installation failed

[Dave R]

Read the first post of the thread where you downloaded the plugin.

[erzane]

ok, just a few minutes

p.s. for conclude the solid component and be sure I understood well
like this my reactor component is in good way to be solid ?
blue faces inside, white outside = no nude faces (blue outside)
only the circles aren't really good (I think that0s the only issue, but certainly thomthoms will tell it..

[Dave R]

That's certainly got a chance of being solid.

I don't know why you keep ignoring requests to post the component. This could have all been sorted out days ago.

[erzane]

I already posted it, it's in my last post on page1

[Dave R]

My error.

[erzane]

no worry
here is my result with solid inspector



I am now looking for identify all suspect errors

so, I resolved 99% of errors but it still be one
it seems it's the circle, but I dont know how to repair it..

p.s. I heard about ''fix solid'' plugin.. would be something good for me in that case ?
