pep problems

[swordsman57]

i made a pistol and an smg in sketchup but when i put them into pep there all these red lines that i cant get to go away.
some where just lines on the model that were not needed but others i cant make go away without messing the whole thing up. what should i do?

anther thing that is recent is that in the 2D model side of pep i try to add the numbers but they wont come. how do i make those come back?

i dont think pep likes me

Take screenshots of it in pepakura, then upload them to photobucket or similar.
-OR-
Create a 4-shared account (It's what I use), and upload the file so we can try to help.

Now, as far as I can tell, Sketchup sucks. Most people who try to model in it get open edges (the red lines) everywhere. The only good thing about it is it's free. I use Milkshape 3D ($25), and I can use 3ds Max at school. Those two programs together work very well.

FYI, Chumbalum Soft will be raising the price of Milkshape to $35 next month.

At your school, Robogenisis, if you have a flash drive, I reccommend taking the fules iff the computer and copying them to it and addingthem to your computer.., as for the topic, I have no idea, I have never made a pep file

Well I don't know your specific problem, but one way to fix it might be if when you open the model (the 3d one, not pep file) into pepakura, if you hit "join adjacent isolated edges". what that does is pretty obvious, it takes the edges next to each other and joins them.

Hope that helps
