Google has several video tutorials on Sketchup that are very helpful. I wasn't able to create anything with it until I watched them.

For simple models I'm very happy with it. For more complex models it's a pain but it could be that I'm still not experienced enough with it.

The bottom looks like it is just a face with no height to me from viewing it in Kisslicer.

satman,

I'd recommend attaching a sample stl file that is leading to this behavior for you.

OH another thing about sketchup. When I created a small box , it showed a closed bottom. When I load it in RH it shows an open bottom, that is you can see the the platform gird lines. Any GSUP experts here?

I created 5x5x.5 in. square in Sketchup.I exported it as a stl file.But when I load it into Rh it only looks like the size of one of the squares on RH platform.Just wondering if anybody knows why.I did scale it up 25 times and its printing now tho.
