[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 327981, member: 4850"] exocad wigs out like this when you are trying to make a model that has parts on top of parts. it wants to make a model from a [B]single surface[/B]. that's whats happened here. it has converted half your model into a single surface and a pile of floaters. to print this properly, save the design and model as a single stl, then close the hole left by nature of being a digital impression in meshmixer and print a solid model. do not attempt a hollow model. do not try to "make solid" it will just wig out more. to get this right in exocad you'd need to import the saved scene as a single piece, separate them into bridge and model but keep them in the same space, select the fitting surface of the crowns, select the preps, delete both, then merge them back again into a single file. then you have a shot at model creator not giving you junk. there isn't a real workflow for this that i've seen.
