I can’t make an object a solid and it’s keeping me from using Solid Tools to make a mold for 3d printing. SUPER exasperating. PLEASE HELP

Using the Solid Inspector, it shows me these, but I can’t seem to get to those edges to remove then, and Cleaner doesn’t remove them either
- Scale it at 1000x
- Enter the group (double click on it)
- Select all Solid Groups and Explode them, then Intesect Faces
- Exit the group and use Solid Inspector to delete all internal faces
- It’s a Solid Group now
- Use CleanUp for a clean model
would you mind uploading what you did? it would take me 4 hours to follow those steps as I use SketchUp about once a year

If you make more changes, work at 1000x scale.

I love the idea of making it 1000x scale to work on the tiny edges etc. Super helpful!
