  <description><![CDATA[Guys, I'm new to 3d design. I've been using sketchup to draw some parts. I uploaded the first one to Shapeways as a VMRL and got the manifold error message.<br />
<br />
I can't find any way of finding or eliminating the manifold errors in Sketchup.<br />
<br />
Can any of you guys help me out?<br />
<br />
I've attached the orignal sketchup file and the WRL.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Hi Birdie 15, I've had a look at your model a fixed it for you.<br />
I had to re rmodel it, using your model to trace over.<br />
Double check the dimensions before uploading it for printing.<br />
<br />
if your're happy leave a post here <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=1584&amp;start=0&amp;S=4e30ee706fc8f9813de5f4ce956c07b9" target="_blank"> http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=1584&a mp;start=0&amp;S=4e30ee706fc8f9813de5f4ce956c07b9</a><br />

  <description><![CDATA[Hi Virtual V,<br />
<br />
Thanks so much   <img src="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile"> <br />
<br />
I am having problems with the dimensions when uploading to shapeways. The original model was drawn using centimetres in Sketchup.<br />
<br />
If I upload using the millimetres or metres default, it comes out as too small or too large - the numbers are correct but the units don't translate over correctly.<br />
<br />
How should I correct this?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Following up on this: It would be great -- and probably not difficult -- for SW to support &quot;centimeters&quot; as a scale option on uploading STL files.  At least in Blender, the natural coordinates for modeling (using the default grid size, default view, typical scale of a SW object given current pricing, etc.) seem to match 1 unit = 1 cm most closely.  Allowing cm as a scale option might lower an unnecessary barrier.]]></description>
