Can you post the factory file? It's kind of hard to give advice when we can't see the model...

Re: my object is hollow?

Are you sure the file is the factory file.....suffix .factory ....and not the shape file.....suffix .stl ?

.stl files tend to be large, but once imported into S3D, the exported factory file is considerably smaller.

The factory file can be created from the Files dropdown menu===>Save factory file as

If the factory file IS that big, use WinZip to reduce the size.

... Iam verry sorry, but Your factory doesn't work.
After opening the factory the program stops with only the message like shown in the attached picture.
