I have a very frustrating issue with tinkercad.
When I group two objects together the resulting object has bits missing or changes made to model. I also get this when importing stl files.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I might avoid this?
The below images show the objects before grouping and after. Once grouped little chunks of the model disappear or change.
Tinkercad attempts to fix your model when you import an STL or Group objects. Sometimes this process will give you unexpected results depending on how the objects/import were made.
For example if you import an STL with a hole or made of a bunch of open objects, it will try to combine them and make the result watertight (manifold) for 3D printing. Also, any reductions may result from this process to make the online app performant.
Often, some best practices can help fix this issue when grouping. If you want to open a ticket to share the model, I can take a look at whether there is soemthing that can be done the missing piece(s) after grouping.
