Im having a problem with some eve ship models. 1st i dont know hardly anything about modeling, but what i taught myself. the ship im working on is the sigil. the problem im having is to do what i need to do to this model, it has to all be one part.

it appears currently this ship is made out of sections al crammed together. some even clip thru each other. this makes the ship imposable for me to use as it is. i need one of you high tech intelligent lads to help me fix this. i need the model to be watertight i believe the term was. to have the whole thing joined together all in one solid part, as if it was all carved from a single block of wood or something. im probably not making any dam sense.

it has to be one thing, solidly filled in lke it was pulled from a resin cast, not sevral small things all crammed into each other.

thats the best way i can exlain it.

heres a picture so you can see what im talkin bout

paper craft aswell as rapid prototyping. rapid prototype for me, paper-crafting for you all.

This was my guess too. I'm going to start looking into exporting models myself in the next week since I learned about my school's free 3D printer Big smile

@OP, most modeling programs have functions to automatically seal models I believe. Maybe try to look around a bit for one of those.
