Unable to combine bodies for export as STL

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have multiple bodies I want to combine, however some of them have this weird icon not the white body. how would I go about combining them? I have an STL i need to edit (I know, not preferable). So I converted the mesh into bodies, then now I need to recombine the bodies into one to export as a single STL..

Those are Surface Bodies rather than Solid Bodies.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local HDD and then attach it here?

Just patch the letters on the back side of robot (they are holes right now). Then stitch all together. And remove floating body. That's it.

Hey, thanks for that! Body 2 (antenna) is still surface for some reason. Any chance you know? Also, what do you mean remove floating body?

Apply Stitch operation on the Antenna and you will get solid body without any issue. And Body8 contains only 1 face floating in the air (looks like it's from letters you removed). Just delete it.
