Just 3d silhouette, outer surfaces, shell only

kekec1313

Hi,

I have a complex object imported with a lot of inner geometry, of course as always object is not solid. It tooks 4M memory in file and CPU time to manipulate.

But all I need is only outer dimensions, simplified surfaces, 3D silhouette without all this inner geometry.

I tried solid tools but there is a problem with "not solid". I tried to find all these gaps but it is not so easy. Deleting lines, etc. time consuming.

Is there any plugin to do this job?

Thanks!
