Hi Michael,
I'm trying a new (to me) method of designing and building a model aircraft. I modeled the fuselage from a sketch and sliced it into sections. I then output the sections to a laser cutter and it cuts the parts out of 6mm depron. I then glue the parts together and sand to the final shape.

I wanted to join all the sections into a solid so that I could run it through a program like SolidWorks to get a weight and center of mass for balancing.

I'll take your advice and try another strategy in creating the solids.

Thanks for your time.

You might be able to get that same result while just keeping each piece as its own separate solid. At least weight I'd think would be supported in SolidWorks by it adding together the weights of all the separate pieces.
