Hi folks. I have a model that simply refuses to become a solid so I can use it for 3D printing. As it stands now, I can only get it to be a joined surface. I don't see any naked edges, so I am at a loss.

Thoughts? File is available here on Dropbox: https://tinyurl.com/vwj982h

Thanks for help and suggestions.

The naked edge shortcut key script shows a short naked edge, (5 of them)...

Hi Chris, in the current v4 beta you can use the detailed object properties dialog to find the naked edges.

Select your object and then push "Details..." here:


Then in the report that lists 5 naked edges, click on that text to select them so you can see the problem areas:


You can also set up a script on a shortcut key like Brian mentions above, the instructions for doing that are here:

However, some of the problem edges here appear to be squished down micro edges which are harder to get rid of. I got rid of one area using the Merge command and in the second problem area I needed to untrim 2 surfaces to get rid of the bad edges.

I've attached a fixed up version that is a solid now.

I tried for about 20 minutes, but never managed to get rid of the naked edges... :-( :-)

Thanks all.
