Need help with 3d model

[ArturArtur]

Hi, I need help with my 3D model. I sent CT dicoms to embodi and I received file like always (thx embodi !)  When I open file in Meshmixer, everything is ok at first sight. However, when I cut model walls of  are empty (see screen shot) so I cannot print it properly. I want just emphasis that I sent CT -bone window. Thank you in advance for help

Hi Arthur, 

I have downloaded your stl file from your profile and cut it. It seems ok if you do it from Edit=>Plane Cut command. Unfortunately stl files over 24 mb and i cant send from here. just send me message your e mail for stl files if you have issues cutting by this way.

Cheers

Nice work ! but tell me what did you do ? I want to learn to know for the future. Could you explain me this step by step. thank you once again for help

I see you used just plane cut. However, do you know how to fill walls in this situation with let opoen skull ( see screen shot) ?

[Selami]

Thanks. 

Lets do step by step then.

1.jpg :First I opened your STL file and clicked left view(which is front view for architetcs as me  ) 

2.jpg : you can change axis and move selection.

you can also rortate at that view to check if its ok.

3.jpg changed rotation axis and cutting side. just say accept.

Thats it.

Cheers

Oh i just got it. My bad sorry.

Select remeshed fill, i guess you choose no fill option

[ArturArtur]

It works, but do you know how to fill walls after romwoe piece of model by "lasso" ? like in the picture that i sent ? 

[Selami]

Ok I understand. You have selected your model with lasso and cut it. And turn back to fill between them. As jpg?

I dont know how to fill walls of skull ( pink space) 

[Selami]

After cut, we need to export a new stl file, and import it to 3dslicer, or which software you create STL file. So we can resegment to fill holes. But nice topic for me, I will think better and faster solutiuon for it.

cheers

You can go to Analysis--> Inspector and it will drop pins indicating the holes and you can click them to fill in. Since your edges are highlighted blue, Meshmixer knows those edges outline holes.
