Need help with shelling a model
(OP)
Hello,
I am creating an airplane (Cessna 152) in solidworks in order to print it on a 3D printer. I would like to cut down material by shelling out the model, but I am having a tough time trying to figure out how whats wrong with it, (I'm not sure if its due to the loft's, or radius's I have).
I have attached the file to look at. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

or
your RP software should have an option for sparse (honeycomb) fill to cut down on material consumption.
What brand of machine are you printing on?

You can also cut the part into sections and then shell them.

Roll up the history tree to an appropriate location, shell the model and then drag it back down.
SolidWorks is a history based modeler that allows you to go back in history (within reason) and add features you forgot.
