With Solid Inspector running hit Tab to zoom in to each of the errors. Once you find one, fix it. Run Solid Inspector 2 again and find the next to fix. Rinse and repeat.


BTW, I would suggest removing those knife edge parts that rise up above the flat surfaces.


And fix the incorrect tag usage. ALL edges and faces should be untagged.

You are magic! How on earth did you find thoose!? I have been using solid inspector and cant se where the problem is. Is there a way to zoom to the issue?

-Hit Tab you wrote.

will try that now.

I did what I directed you to do. I hit Tab to cycle through and zoom in to the errors.

Are you using the old Solid Inspector or Solid Inspector 2?

Yes. That’s it.

Solved. Exploded the group and regrouped. :+1:

Solid Inspector2 doesn’t catch all possible errors, unfortunately.

Using X-Ray can help find errors too. Cheers, Steve

usually, when solid inspector2 says that all is well, but the object isn’t solid, I try with solid inspector (the original one). It’ll often circle a couple of problematic things. it’s worth keeping installed.
