When I slice a complex plate, S3D fills in open areas.

Here are screen shots:
And one of the STLs:

And here are two more STLs.

I have this happen with many, but not all, similar files.

It must be something in your settings. I'm not seeing the same problem when I slice it.

And the same sort of files used to slice fine for me, too. I don't think I made any settings changes when this behavior changed. But perhaps some file got corrupted?

Anybody have any suggestions?

Re-ran all the config's (firmware, printer, built new profiles) and now the slicing is fine. So I am not sure what got corrupted to make slicing behave like that, but now it's working, and I have a work-around if it happens again.

Beats having to use MakerWare.

for the two snowflakes on the right it looks like the Merge All Outlines in the Advanced tab might have been applied to those. The one on the far left looks like it possibly left out some parts of the model due to a high extrusion width being applied to thin walls.
