Now i got stuck again with creating a simple model.
It hasn't funny things, just plain walls with holes in it.

I create these using Microstation.
Start with a solid flat shape, punching the holes.
I then render that part to check if the holes are there.

Then i extract that part as a solid to get the correct wall thickness.
Thats all i do and even then there are many errors.
See the attached picture that Shapeways return.

Could anyone pleeease explain me in a simple language what i am doing wrong. Dont opt for buying a other drawing package be-course there is no budget for that.

So i redrawn a part of the construction with no overlaps.
And after that i created a union of the tree parts.

On strange problem still occourse with microstation during unions.
If executed in a certain view it may result in a error and not in a other view.]]> gharryh 2010-05-17T19:44:38-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12951&th=2558#msg_12951 Youknowwho4eva 2010-05-17T19:55:36-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12963&th=2558#msg_12963 gharryh 2010-05-18T13:50:44-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12967&th=2558#msg_12967 Youknowwho4eva 2010-05-18T14:22:27-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12971&th=2558#msg_12971 .
