Hi all,
I use Solid Edge CAD for my design work.
The object I have attached is giving me non-manifold grief.
SE doesn't tell me of any problems, and from fumbling with Rhino4 all I know is:
Mesh has 10 degenerate faces.
Mesh has 6 non manifold edges.
but I don't know where the problem areas are on the model.
If someone could please tell me where the problems are, or even fix if its not too much trouble, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Mark

Try Netfabb. It's free, and it works really well for identifying problem areas. Endorsed by SW, too.

Try this, the only non - manifold parts I found were on 2 of the rivets, took me 2 min to merge some vertices and re export using blender.

I did a test upload and it uploaded successfully too Smile

Thanks Dadrummond,
Not being a practising surface modeller, netfabb didn't make a lot of sense to me, but i think I worked out the problem through trial and error.
Got there in the end,
Thanks
Mark
