i dont understand why its so damn hard to make a hollow model solid again please help me. i use make solid on meshmaker and it does absolutely nothing but take 10 minutes to do. blender is completely useless as well. i would send the model but this doesnt even have a file attachment either.
#no idea if this is a modeling server but for the love of god help me

yeah i give up
spent 13 mins on it
thjis is the best i could get it
useless
i have practially zero experience in meshmixer though. im sure someone who knows what their doing can do it though
hard pawn
ok then 😄

@hard pawn so you wanted to close the windows, correct?

I'm just having a go using blender.
and this plane has a lot of hidden objects inside the mesh as well.
i think the solution is as simple as using Booleans + primitive shapes to fill the void.
also tab -> p -> separate by loose parts make it's simpler to work on.
alternative method is to just add supports when printing and it will fill the internal hole....with supports...
not sure how you plan to print it....?
@hard pawn this is a start, but keep adding edges loop to the fill, and shaping it til it fits inside the plane.
it doesn't have to be perfect, just need to fit inside the outside skin.
when you done, put the fill into the Boolean folder, then apply.
after that, you can join up the other airplane parts with "join" or "Booleans". if you slicer doesn't detect errors.. it'll print ok.

<@743237728946356244> so you wanted to close the windows, correct?
the problem was that its too thin to print. there are interior seats as well. but he just simply wants the entire model solid so its printable.
obviously the interior doesnt matter in this case though. just something to point out

this is where the blend file was up to
manic flax
ah that makes sense
frank quiver
yah 🙂
@manic flax do you think i explained it well enough?
i didn't want to be assuming no knowledge...and there's enough to start googling on if needed?
manic flax
well i live in blender so saw the image and immedieatly knew whats going on, let me read rq
tbh no, with blender i always assume no knowledge, new people and people who just know their way around from tutorials* probably wont know
how to set boolean modifier
how to create a primitive (maybe maybe not)
the logic of using booleans
whats an edge loop
*some tutorials
ima take some screenshots write some messages

yeah ok, that fair eniough. thankyou, i'll keep that in mind.
I was hoping to umm get some questions from the OP too if there wasn't understanding there...😅
I've previously pinged them too, incase notifs were off. (mine are)
frank quiver
ima take some screenshots write some messages
totally use the blend file to if you like
manic flax
you posted it?
frank quiver
yeah, but here it is again cos why not 
make it easier anyways
manic flax
yeah, but here it is again cos why not <:thumbs_up:514042548252180491>

what version of blender is that from, it just makes mine crash
frank quiver
what version of blender is that from, it just makes mine crash
sorry newish version
manic flax
ah
frank quiver
we can just ah, maybe link some tutorials for the main parts....?

I'd happily spend 5mins videoing the process 🤷 , but usaully i'll wait for a response for op first.. cos maybe they lost interest or found the answer elsewhere.
