So it is virtually impossible to make an existing complicated SU 3d model into a valid "solids" model.
We would want to do this to enable it to be made into a 3D model valid solids model for 3D printing.... but alas does not appear to be very workable.

You could only do so if all its parts were valid, solid groups/components, too. When this tool came out, I tried with a couple of my models and they all failed. :lol:
