Sadly not that I am aware of. It's quite basic.

@@notverygoodguy alright thanks for replying.

The most common reason for a problem here is either incorrect normals somewhere in the mode or the model isn't correctly hollowed. If any part of the hollow intersects with the outside of the model then this won't work. If this is the case you do have the option of selecting all the vertices of the outside manually. That said, can you explain at one point you have the problem and what do you mean by "a shell of itself"

I wish I could make all of them this short. Makes editing much easier :)

The modifier can take ages if you already have a lot of vertices and an older computer without enough RAM and in extreme cases can crash.

You could try this. th-cam.com/video/7-aUbGw8Sz4/w-d-xo.html

Really good to hear!

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a series for people new to blender which I have sorely neglected for a while but will get back to that soon.

I look forward to your video!

This is likely to be an issue with the rig you are creating. Would it be possible to provide a link to your blend file. I would be interested to look at it.

@@notverygoodguy I could send the file to your email?

Sounds like it is a model with a hole in it rather than a hollow model which might sound like its the same thing but actually isn't. It also sounds like the hole intersects with the outside walls which is why the inside gets selected with the outside. One thing you could try if you are patient is to go into edit mode and try to select everything you see with the circle select brush (press c and adjust the size of the circle with the mouse wheel) select as much as you can and then hide it with h (you might need to right click to come out of circle select first). If there is still more outside that needs selecting repeat the process until you are left with just the inside hole of the model. Finally do ALT-H to get the hidden parts back. They should still be all selected so go ctrl i to invert the selection. This should now select everything except the parts you selected before i.e. the inside and delete these vertices with x, vertices. Take a copy of your model first of course. Hope this works!

@@notverygoodguy It's a hollow model with drainage holes in. I've filled the drainage holes in with cylinders in 3D builder but it still doesn't seem to be recognising any of the internal topography.

@@kingfluff8065 Hmm in this case does it even matter that it has holes in it? It will likely print anyway. That said, it sounds like your only other option is to select all the vertices on the outside of your model and separate them from the rest of the model and I described above. This might require a lot of patience though. If you have a link to the model I would be interested to take a look at it.

You're very kind. Thank you.

Thank you :)

Have you remembered to increase the "Pose IK segments" to 3 in the brush settings?

Maybe I would if I put more effort in :)

Pleased to be able to help!

If you haven't started exactly at the center of the world this will happen. Try doing SHIFT C before you start or grab the first vertx you made and move it along the x or y axis until the hole closes.

​@@notverygoodguywill try thanks for the quick reply

Still had a hole unfortunately. managed to get around it by selecting bottom faces and pressing 'f' to fill it in right before the final subdivision surface. Great Video and keep it up !

@@jasonborgmillo7482 Strange but glad you found a solution :)

You are too kind :)

Great to hear. Thanks!

I know it's bad isn't it. I will be getting back to it soon!

Me? Not much but some people do.

@notverygoodguy oh sad Just now i am starting a channel hoping to get some pocket money someday

You have to start somewhere. It is a marathon not a sprint :)

@@notverygoodguy A lion with an empty stomach will catch a deer. Thanks! Let’s see if I can finish the marathon! : )

@@3dprintmonster Good luck!

Excellent! Glad it was helpful.

Well he was an awesome cat :)

@notverygoodguy 🤣

Great to hear it is working for you!

Thank you so much. It is always great to hear if my video has been helpful to someone so thanks for the feedback.

Have to develop my video graphics effects somewhere :)

The quality? Can you explain what you mean by quality here? It is often the case that booleans break things but that is usually due to the normals needing fixing.

I am glad this was useful for you. I have a video about posing an stl which goes into some detail of the vertex groups associated with bones. Well, they are not actually related to the bones themselves they are associated with the weight painting of bones. They simply store the information of which vertices move when the bone moves. These "bone" vertex groups are exactly the same as any other vertex groups and are created when you attach your rig to your model with automatic weights. There is no reason you can't just create or edit them yourself if you prefer. So it can be confusing unless you just remember that "bone" vertex groups are no different than "mesh" vertex groups.

I think it might be ALT right click I mentioned.

Thank you :)

Really good to hear it was useful for you and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the suggestions. This might have been a good idea to add to this video- One REALLY simple way to achieve what you suggest here is to go into sculpt mode and use the grab brush to just pull out and push in some parts of the finished model. I'll add this idea to my list and perhaps get around to doing more complex vases.

Good to hear! Thanks.

Subdivisions won't affect your printing as such but may add a little to the time it takes to slice. This model definitely prints :)

Tnanks for the feedback. Glad you like them :)

Which hole do you mean? The hole created that matches the "key" shouldn't go away.

@@notverygoodguy when I split the hollow model. I want the openings to stay.

@@Kommander_Rahnn Oh I see. If your model starts out hollow like in this video then you would only need to create the plane as shown in this video and do the boolean. No need to separate the inside from the outside and no need to do a boolean on the inside of the model too. If your model isn't already hollow you will need to make it hollow first. If your model is quite simple then you would just add a solidify modifier to it. If it is complex that might work or you might just hollow it out in your slicer and export the result as an stl for Blender and then cut it.

@@notverygoodguy Awesome. Thanks for your help.

Glad it was helpful!

It's hard to say what might be going wrong without being able to see the geometry of your model. Are you sure you are holding the ALT key down while selecting?

@@notverygoodguy AHHHH i see . i didnt hold the ALT ahahah. thanks for the fast reply <3

That would be quite interesting. I'll add it to my list!

Glad you like the videos :)

No problem. In edit mode select all and go ALT-N and select flip. Should swap them all around.

I have a PhD in crossing the sidewalk!

Hazzah!! I KNEW you were a man of quality! No, seriously - if you’re ever available to be a freelance voiceover, please let me know. Just a W8-BEN & W-9 exchange (for the good old taxman )after the contract agreement. I pay 48 hours upon invoice arrival

@@edge83mediallc Don't think we have them in Norway :) Flattered you'd be interested in that though :)

@@notverygoodguy Just to clarify myself, I meant I would give you -my- W-9 tax form as your client and accept your W8-BEN. Anyhow, it's all good if you're not interested. Appreciate your work!

Sadly not.

A possible reason might be if the hollow part of the model intersects with the outside so that when you try to select the inside of the model (the red part) is also selects the outside. Then when you press H to hide the vertices, they are all hidden. One thing you could do is to try this in reverse but you won't be able to use the l key to select things. If the model isn't too intricate you could use the circle select option c and then control the size of the selection circle with your mouse scroll wheel and then paint all the outside of your model to select everything you can actually see. Then hide these with h and see what is left. If it looks like it is probably the inside of the model, select everything and delete and unhide the ones you hid before. I hope this works. Let me know.
