Trying to convert a CAD road model into a solid group. So I’ve imported a “dirty” CAD model and trying to convert the road surface into a useable solid group. I managed to get 2 groups done then completed a narrow stitch group between them then used OuterShell to join the 3 groups. Don’t recall if the OuterShell became unresponsive stright away, or after trying to fix the issues keeping the final product from being a pure solid.
Would be greatfull knowing what’s gone wrong and how to fix it please?
thanks
Ed

Looks like it’s due to scaling, perhaps because you imported the originalCAD file with the wrong units. Right click on the group in Outliner and choose Explode. Then immediately create a new group.
Here I’ve done that and then cleaned up the object so it’s a solid.

I had scaled it up to work on, got the solid sorted then scaled back down. Just tried what you said and I’m back in business.
Thanks heaps Dave
