Uh, woah...........

Okay, so I managed to FINALLY get the file to work and took a look at it. First of all, I had to edit in blender and delete the doubles. That then allowed me to patch up the open hole that was on one side of the gun.

Buuuuuuut..............

Once I opened it up in pepakura, there were TONS of red lines, meaning, that all those lines means that NOTHING connects..............it's just a bunch of loose, single pieces. Unfolding this thing is gonna be a *****!!!!! D:

Unless there is someone that knows how to fix that problem. I only know of one way, but it takes literally HOURS to do. I don't really know of any other way to fix it. :\

I saw pretty much what HaloGoddess said. You won't see the open edges (at least not easily) in SketchUp but they will very easily in PD. I think you need to heed what HG said about the doubles and delete them.

I don't exactly know what causes the red lines. As for the open hole, like Ral Partha said, you can't see it in sketchup because even I decided to install sketchup to look at the file and did not see any open areas. I also installed mesh lab and that was how I managed to open the file in blender and where I also discovered where the open area was. I remember reading that someone else saw that too so when I was looking at the model, I made sure to look for the area.

If you are using blender to model, what I did was go into edit mode, hit "A" and that selected the whole model. I then hit "W" which pulled up a menu and clicked on "delete doubles" or something like that. It was like you had a couple layers of the model on top of one another because even when I tried to select the 4 points of the open area to create a face, it wasn't letting me do it since I probably had more than just 4 vertices selected. Once I deleted the doubles, I was able to fix the hole. Not sure if that makes any sense to you since I honestly do not know much about blender and learned a few things here and there, but I still can NOT make my OWN models. I only know how to edit them a little bit.

yeah
im probably gonna do a huge backup and reinstallmy OS. I was going to do the disk reset by erasin the drives contents to factory state. But Toshiba and Microsoft are total retards-so you knowit didnt work. well-whatz a man gunna do
and i did make that model mostly in blender then imported to sketchup to finish.

like i said they look good but 3ds max would be better... listen i have a program that will detect and automatically back up your drivers that is on your pc.. that way you can burn them to a disc and do a complete reformat and not have to worry about hunting down your drivers.. if you need it just let me know in a pm and i can send you a link to that software
