I’m utilizing Sketchup to arrange an architectural mission for 3D-printing. My 3D-printer works finest when the objects within the mannequin are stable teams and parts, and I want to realize that in my mannequin.
My subject is the next:
I’m modelling a curtain wall with mullions (I’ve created with the extension Profile Builder) and I have to “batch boolean” all of the parts and teams created within the curtain wall mullions. Is there a approach to do it rapidly? The ultimate end result needs to be a single stable group as within the final pic. I’ve used a number of extensions (i.e. Stable Inspector and a few boolean extensions) however they don’t appear to be made for this particular process. If this works I’ll do the identical process a number of occasions because it’s a giant mission and there’s a number of curtain partitions in it. The goal with this process is to mannequin the mullions as extrusions within the bodily printed 3D mannequin.
See hooked up SKP-file.

P.S.: I then want to connect the mullions to the underlay within the Sketchup file, i.e. the outer wall of the quantity. Is there any approach of doing this in the identical approach as for the mullions? So I can get a stable group in an automated approach.
All assist could be kindly appreciated! Cheers.
I’m confused, what’s improper with the usual stable instruments ?
oh wait, is your profile updated ? you’re utilizing SUmake 2017 ?
I don’t bear in mind, no stable instruments in make 17 proper ? as a result of they’d do this fairly properly, particularly with easy volumes like that. merging easy volumes (stable teams) would solely take just a few clics.
So as to add to @ateliernab’s reply,
If this was drawn as all solids, it’s best to be capable to choose all proper click on on it and choose outer shell. That is assuming 2017 make has stable instruments accessible.
