Guess i just plain ran out of tricks this time around. I made a model in EasyToy, and then exported it as a (.obj) to Sketchup to finish some things. But now, when i export the model to Shapeways, part of it just disappears. I have no idea why this is happening, as the parts that disappear seem to be randomly dotted around the model.

This is the model i see in Sketchup, seemingly fine:



This is what Blender shows me:



That's basically what i get when i upload to Shapeways. Shapes, but missing bits all over the place.

I'd really appreciate if some who had some spare time could check this out for me. I've attached the .skp file as that's the only one i have that doesn't have bits disappearing all over the place. Please help? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

EDIT: If it makes any difference, this is the reference pic i'm going by: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a0/DNaviNeo1.jpg

Woops! It seems i managed to fix the problem myself. Apparently some vertices had been removed when i was exporting due to me...well, without revealing too many secrets, one of my plugins with which i'd drawn the system, the script behind it had a slight bug. I ran a second plugin and got it running perfectly fine in Blender and on Shapeways.

Thanks for your help Ramrider. Always knew i could count on ya, bro.

Mods, feel free to delete this thread now, it's no longer necessary.
