i am on a mac, running 10.6.8
when I made my models in silo 2.0 - i used the combine feature. and thought it was all one boolean! however, I didn't realize that there were still 2 shells in my ring. so it got rejected from the shop.
i tried netfabb - started a repair. ran basic repair - then selected both shells and tried to export the selection as a shape. which worked! but exporting that shape and looking at it - there are still 2 shells.
also I have looked at Groboto today - which is really awesome! but cannot import my .obj files. you can model all day and export all you want with the trial version - but I would have to recreate my files.

first question - does the full version of netfabb actually have functionality that allows you to combine the shells into a unibody / single shell ?
second question - is it worth the cash? can it do other things?
third question - has anyone else had this particular problem? how did you solve it?

thank you!
