Overlapping Faces

Submitted by ossosso on Tue, 2007-09-11 10:28

Hi everyone!
I've imported an architectural model inside 3dsMax from Skethup, and there are a lot of overlapping faces and open edges.. there's a way to fix it not manually?

I tried the "STL checker" modifier, but it's not so useful.

Thank you very much for any help.

I dont really have anything

I dont really have anything to point you towards scriptwise, but just make sure you're exporting out of sketchup correctly..

 

best settings i've found that work somewhat so far are:

3ds, by material, uncheck the extra edges option (forget the exact name)

 

its not great as it imports everything with the name of 'MeshXX', but the materials come through, mesh is relatively clean, and objects are in a hierarchy dependant on what material is assigned. caveat: verts are not welded. the vertex weld modifier is your friend.

 

then collapse or layer as needed ;)
