Holes being filled when prepped for printing..,

I designed an object in SketchUp, exported the STL file, and when I open it in S3D the object looks correct, but when I prepare for printing, the hole gets filled in... we're talking 19mm hole... disappearing... I'll post a photo when I get home, but if anyone can help in the meantime, I'd appreciate it

Thanks in advance

Re: Holes being filled when prepped for printing..,

Sketchup is notoriously bad at creating good models for printing. I'd recommend checking to see if the model has errors (https://www.simplify3d.com/support/arti ... sh-errors/) and possibly running it through netfabb (https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net/)
