Hi,<\/p>\n

I am working on a 3D-model of a trachea that I got from online. The file came as an obj file with a lot of errors. I followed some of the advice provided on your forum which was very helpful, but I've reached a point where I don't know how to go about fixing the issue.<\/p>\n

I will run by you my process and hopefully you can help. I began by having the complete model of a trachea obj file. As I didn't want all the geometry I moved the file into MeshLab and deleted the part that I didn't want, cutting the model and leaving a hole in the mesh. From here I saved as an stl file and moved the model into SpaceClaim. From here, I continued by sealing the hole that was left and having a fully defined model of a trachea. At this point I ran the Check Facets tab to see if there are any geometry problems and none were found. <\/p>\n
