Hello there,
I have made a model of our apartment that I.m trying to print.
Setup:
I have Sketchup Make, export extension for *.stl files and I have tried to import to a 3D-printer it doesn´t make any errors but there isn´t any model on the simulated board in the 3D-printer program when it is imported there.
I have tried and suceeded with a cube no problem there so logically the problem is wit my apartment model.
Can anyone please help me. The model is attached to this message.
Sincerely

If you triple click on one of the walls, it will select everything that is connected. Right-click and make it a group or component. Do the same for the other two connected walls. Note in the entity window that this now says that the groups (or components) are solid:
Using the STL exporter, make sure to un-check the “Export selected geometry only” option.
Or select the three sets of walls and check the box prior to exporting.

Thank You,
So far so good, but when I preview the file in the MakerBot program there is nothing there:

Hmmm … I had the same problem. I can’t even get it to preview a simple cube. Which is odd. If I try to run a preview a second time, it tells me it can’t find the file. However, I opened it in Slic3r and it acts like it should:
I uploaded it to Shapeways and it looks fine there, as well:
I also uploaded it to the 3D Warehouse and used the iMaterialise STL converter, but it still doesn’t give a print preview in MakerBot.
