Bad Import from sketchup

I modeled this with sketchup and exported as an stl file.  It's not slicing correctly.  Any help is appreciated.

RE: Bad Import from sketchup

Probably errors in the STL and/or lines that are too thin. Without seeing the 3mf project file it's all wild guesses. If you upload your project as a 3mf file, you're likely to get better advice. In Prusaslicer, go to File/Save project as, to create the 3mf file. Zip compress it (right click Compress on Mac and Win11, right click Send to/Compress on Win10) to turn it into a .zip file, which you can attach to a post on this forum. The forum software does not accept .3mf files, it has to be a .zip file. 

The 3mf file contains not only the STL but also all your settings.

I'm not sure how to post a zip file here.

Good morning Wes
the easiest way that I know of, is to open the text input box, type your message, then click on 'Choose File' at the bottom of the text input window,

Regards Joan

You can immediately tell its bad from the dark green area when loaded.  That's why the whole interior of the frame is missing.  The other missing areas on the parts that are slicing look to be the usual too thin for the extrusion width to render issues.  But as Fuchsr and Joan say once the 3mf is available people will be able to confirm 100%
