Slicing the model.. oops

There is a tool that is used to slice up the model. It works along the same lines as what was used to fix the scaling problem. So far I have been working with only one data set. A few days ago I received a new model and started to process it. The first step is to “slice” the model. Of course this didn’t work. My biggest fear was that the tool wasn’t robust enough and this new model was breaking something. After spending hours(and hours) trying to determine what was causing the troubles maybe it was time to look at the model data .

The model was created in 3D studio, which I don’t own. You know how expensive 3D studio is? I have a 3D tool called Milkshape and it will import 3D files. While I couldn’t fix the issue I could see there was something wrong. I resorted to downloading a trial version of 3D.

The white object shown below isn’t supposed to be there.

I was able to remove the extra object without messing up the remaining data.

The slicer works fine now.
