    • Trouble exporting to .STL solids extruding outside boundary

      Hi, I'm having trouble exporting this file, for a sculpture, to STL format. There's seepage on the backside of the planar portions so that many of the linear structural members are filled in behind. I've tried uploading it to https://service.netfabb.com/
      but the same thing happens. I've done a "Check Solid" and everything seems to be good. What am I missing? It's hard to view the back side of this form!! Thanks

    • RE: Simplify/unify the ends of tubes

      Thanks, I'll see if I can make that work, though I do want to keep all the inner frame work. I was working bigger, maybe I'll try the Dave method. Really appreciate it.

    • Simplify/unify the ends of tubes

      Front of the SculptureHi, I'm trying to render a sculpture that will be 3D printed and cast in bronze.
      It is mostly linear, so I've tried using the "lines-tubes" plugin and another similar one, and they work fine, except the ends of the tubes all overlap or even have gaps between them because of the angles. Is there a quick way of cleaning these up? I'll include a screen shot and the actual file. New to this process (I normally build these same type of forms out of sticks of wood). Any advice would be welcome. Is there a different plugin you'd suggest to add dimension to the lines?Front of the SculptureThanks
