7.8.4 Repairing Models
While Simplify has some built-in options for repairing broken models, we’ve had the best luck with an

7.8.5 “Mystery Bridge” Layers
On some models you may see toolpaths generated that don’t match your model at all. Maybe there is a

Fortunately this is a simple fix: by offsetting the part in Z by a very small amount, Simplify3D will
generate the correct toolpath.
