Anyone know why the default cube is showing "Zero Faces" on the entire cube in the 3d print add on. Collapse by distance does not fix it.

This is just a test and I can export it and fix it in Netfabb, but this happens with many of my models having all zero faces and I can't figure out why I can only fix it in Netfabb. Collapse by distance in Blender always changes my model too much.

Is there a better way in blender to approach Zero faces? or is it only collapse by distance? Just checking with you guys before I spend loads of time exporting models.

Thanks!

  • $\begingroup$ Not sure exactly what 'Zero Faces means on that addon, but if there's a 0 (zero) against its entry, it means that there aren't any 'Zero Faces', so all is ok. If you did get a non-zero value, you could go into Edit mode with Face select enabled, click on the Zero Faces line on the addon and the dud faces should be hilighted. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes Thanks, it says all 6 faces. Just trying to see if there is a better workflow than merging by distance to fix em. Or better yet a way to prevent them in the first place? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The default cube shows '0' for every entry here except 'Overhang Face' which shows 1. Clicking that entry hilights the face on the bottom of the cube. I can't see why merging by distance would have any effect whatsoever on a default cube. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks John, I just realized why the cube had all faces showing Zero faces. The cube was scaled down to a small scale. Tried to change the degenerate settings with no luck though. So really unsure how to fix it in the end... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What do you mean by "scaled down to a small size" and had you then applied the scale in Object mode (Ctrl-A > Scale)? Also, what do you mean by "degenerate settings"? $\endgroup$
