SLDPRT Import Mesh Error

I have full version of F360. I uploaded a bunch of SLDPRT file files from Grabcad. Original modeling was absolutely top drawer. I was able to upload the attached file with no errors or problems. When I tried to work with it I was getting strange errors. Used Meshmixer to look at 3MF export and found weird hole on top of stock. Once found I was able to correct with Meshmixer and converting to STL. Not Ideal but it worked.

 

Question: Is this a solidworks, F360 or grabcad problem? Just wondering how common this is.

 

Thanks. Not a show stopper, just curious.

This is SWx user issue.

There are anomalies with the way the geometry was created.

 

But why, oh why, oh why would you take it to MeshMixer to "fix"?

And why did you not Attach the *.sldprt file here?

And what was the issue you saw in Fusion 360?

Thanks. I don't have solidworks so couldn't check. Two commands failed: Split stock in half side to side; And hollow. As these both always work started to examine model and found flaw. Meshcam was easy analysis/fix tool. Will now take time and fix in F360.
