| The Return of Non-Manifold Model Issues [message #4112] Tue, 28 April 2009 05:10 UTC |

It appears that we've got quite the running theme going on in this forum...
I, uh, don't really know what to say, as I've been here before. I mean, I'm Importing it into Blender, and I'm able to do the non-manifold check from there, but after I've got that selected, whether I try to fill or delete things from there, it just seems like I'm doing things wrong. I'm certain the scale isn't how I want it, but that's because that's the last thing I adjust, after everything's manifold and ready for uploading.
I have a number of older models that I'd like to try uploading, but they essentially get the same issue, so if you'd like to talk about the process, I'd really appreciate it so I wouldn't have to ask for help every time I have something new.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oracle,
Cute model!
Are you having trouble identifying the non-manifold edges/faces of your model or just having trouble correcting them in Blender?
I don't have much experience with Blender, so I can't help you there.
However, if you're just troubleshooting the problems, you might have some success using MeshLab.
The first thing I noticed after loading the file was dark faces caused by a "dent" on the inside of the vase. That indicates that the "inner" surface is pushed out past the "outer" surface and will probably result in a reversed normals error later on.
The second thing I noticed, after running "Colorize->Color non Manifold Faces", is that there are some non-manifold errors occurring in the flowers.
Hope that helps,
~David

Here you go. I appreciate the help. I had it in an stl format because I was giving Materialize's Autofix process a try, but they said it couldn't be fixed automatically, so it looks like it needs some hands-on love.

No worries, Ralph. I've been caught up in getting things moved home for Summer Break, so I've been less than "fully functional" as well.
