How to Break a Roof Modeling into Parts for 3D Printing?
-
Hi. I'm modeling a house for 3D printing, I've created the floor and walls in different groups so that they can be separatedly printed since my 3D printer is not enough scaled. But my roof is a whole piece, how can I break the roof into pieces to be printed later to enlarge to a satisfactory size? Thanks in advance.

You can use the Solid tools in Pro to split the model in Sketchup, or probably a simpler method is to download Netfabb where you can create a cutting plane and slice the model instantly.
Netfabb licensing is similar to Sketchup, you download the full version, but it reverts to a free limited (but still very useful for 3D printing!) version that you can use indefinitely. I use it for opening STL files, checking and fixing them for errors, scaling models, and separating models like you need.

Thanks heaps! Downloaded the Netfabb. It's very helpful! Looking forward to my well sliced models...Thanks for your help!
