Slicer fills in center hole

Slicer fills in center hole of tube when I dont want it to.   Support turned off.  This is a thread in a tube.  What do I need to change?  I don't know what to search for in these forums, so sorry if  it's asked before. Slicer is 2.4.0

OK, if you load the model, there are around 8183 auto-repaired errors and 4175 open edges. "Fix through Netfabb" closes the part, too, so I'm afraid you'll have to go back to the CAD software.

Could you please zip and upload the project file? Hard to tell why that is happening, sometimes it's related to errors in the model itself.

I think the problem is in the original design.  I'm using a thread someone else made, and the edges on the screw thread aren't connected. I've found a few other holes, also.   I'm working on closing it up.   These are in Sketchup.
