F360 export has infill in empty space.

I'm not sure if this is a S3d or a F360 issue.

I have a cylinder cup shape that I made in F360 that when exported as a STL tries to infill the empty space. If I lay the cylinder on it's side it prints support and does not infill the whole cylinder. I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. I never had this issue when using google sketchup, and I'm suspicious that it's something to do with how it is modeled in Fusion 360, except that if it's laid on it's side the center does not infill.

Have a read of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4072

I think it's the same issue....the work-around being to add a very small amount to the layer thickness.

I tried setting this layer height and it did not fix the issue, but following that line of thinking I just restored all my printer settings to default, and it appears to have fixed it. I'm not really sure what I would have touched to change that.

Thank you for the response it wasn't the exact fix, but it still got me headed the right direction. I'm new to F360 and my initial thought was it was something in the way that I prepped the model, but after making the same model in google sketchup I knew it had to be a S3D thing.
