Re: General support material
Many thanks for all of the excellent replies. I had completely forgotten about the front / rear face options. I just assumed as the object was solid everything should be OK.

When imported, the model looks odd in the preview window (almost as if parts of it are hollow) see below:- http://www.roblangston.com/3dmodel...
