I just upload a spaceship I made:
http://www.shapeways.com/model/95650/proctor_spaceship.html
However the side that was mirrored appears to be transparent in the render of shapeways ? Is the model ok, or should I worried ? When I open the submitted .stl file in Cinema4d, everything is fine...so I am wondering if it's not the render engine of the site ?]]> Dubeau 2010-02-26T12:57:09-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=10228&th=2088#msg_10228
Looks like that is what happened here.
After you mirror the object, see if you can "flip the normals" back.

Not sure what will happen with printing though, usually singular inverted volumes are fixed, but it might lead to unwanted subtractions when volumes overlap.

As for the preview render, that is always very creative with how to display meshed

Yah. The normal are inverted. I think I will take the time to add more details and make a stand too.]]> Dubeau 2010-02-26T13:19:20-00:00
