3D Roof Model Preparation for Large-Scale Printing
Budget: $25 – $75 USD
NOTE: This is not a rendering project. We need a CAD/mesh specialist who can repair or rebuild disconnected structural geometry and deliver watertight, print-ready STL files with fully solid beams.
Project Brief: Prepare Structural Roof Model for 3D Printing
Project Title
Urgent Preparation of Revit/AutoCAD Structural Roof Model for Large-Scale 3D Printing
Project Overview
We have an architectural model available in both Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD 3D formats.
The model consists mainly of:
Curved structural beams
Secondary truss and support members
Roof sheet or roof surface
Supporting bases
The existing files were not originally prepared for 3D printing. The structural elements are not properly connected, and parts of the model are currently represented as disconnected meshes, surfaces, blocks, or hollow members.
The model must be repaired and, where necessary, partially remodelled to produce a strong, printable 3D model while preserving the original architectural appearance.
Critical Requirement: Solid Structural Beams
All structural beams, trusses, tubes, and support members must be created as fully solid geometry.
The final model must contain:
No hollow beams
No hollow tubes
No hollow internal structural members
No open-ended beam profiles
No thin surface-only representations of structural members
Each beam or structural member must have a completely filled cross-section suitable for FDM 3D printing.
The roof sheet may remain a shell with controlled thickness, but all supporting beams and structural members must be solid.
Scope of Work
The freelancer will be responsible for:
Reviewing both the Revit and AutoCAD 3D files and selecting the most suitable source file.
Repairing or rebuilding disconnected beams, trusses, and structural members.
Converting all beams and supporting structures into solid, non-hollow geometry.
Properly connecting all intersecting structural members.
Repairing gaps between:
Main beams and secondary members
Truss members
Roof and supporting structure
Structural members and supporting bases
Thickening beams where required to ensure that they remain strong and printable.
Giving the roof sheet a suitable physical thickness.
Removing:
Floating geometry
Duplicate elements
Overlapping faces
Internal unwanted surfaces
Non-manifold geometry
Open edges
Unconnected mesh elements
Producing a fully watertight final model.
Dividing the model into practical printing sections if required due to its approximate 140 × 50 cm physical size.
Designing clean connection points between separate sections where required.
Checking the completed model in slicing software before delivery.
Permitted Redesign
The original architectural design and external appearance must be maintained.
However, controlled redesign or reconstruction is permitted where technically necessary to:
Connect structural members
Replace unusable mesh geometry
Convert hollow beams into solid members
Increase the thickness of fragile elements
Strengthen connection points
Prepare the roof for printing
Split the model into printable sections
Create assembly joints
Make the geometry watertight
Any major visible design change should be approved before implementation.
Printing and Assembly Requirements
The model is intended for FDM 3D printing.
The freelancer should prepare the model based on the actual printer build volume and recommend the most suitable division strategy.
Where the model must be separated, the freelancer should include suitable assembly features such as:
Alignment pins
Male and female connectors
Sleeves
Slots
Internal locating joints
Clearly numbered sections
The connections should make assembly straightforward while minimizing visible seams.
The model should not simply be cut into sections without alignment or assembly consideration.
Geometry Requirements
The completed model must:
Use millimetres as the working and export unit
Maintain the correct architectural proportions
Have an approximate assembled size of 140 cm × 50 cm
Include solid beams and solid structural members
Have no hollow structural elements
Have no open surfaces
Have no floating objects
Have no non-manifold edges
Have no intersecting or duplicate internal faces
Be watertight
Be suitable for slicing and FDM printing
Maintain sufficient strength for handling and assembly
Roof Sheet Requirements
The roof sheet should:
Maintain the original curved shape
Have actual printable thickness
Be properly connected or positioned relative to the supporting structure
Be divided into suitable sections if required
Not remain as a zero-thickness surface
Be printable without losing the intended architectural form
The freelancer should propose a suitable roof thickness based on the final model size and printing method.
Deliverables
The freelancer must provide:
Print-ready STL files
Separate and clearly named by section where applicable
Correctly oriented where practical
Using millimetres
Complete assembled STL or reference model
Showing how all sections fit together
Editable source file, preferably in one or more of the following formats:
Revit
AutoCAD DWG
STEP
Fusion 360
Rhino
Blender
Slicer validation screenshots showing:
Successful slicing
Final overall dimensions
All beams visible
No missing structural members
No geometry errors
Proposed print orientation
Assembly reference
Numbered parts
Simple assembly diagram or screenshots
Identification of connection points
Brief work summary stating:
Which elements were rebuilt
Which beams were thickened
How hollow members were converted to solid members
How the model was divided
Final model dimensions
Any recommended printing settings or precautions
Acceptance Criteria
The work will be accepted when:
The original architectural form is maintained.
The assembled model is approximately 140 cm long and 50 cm wide.
All beams and structural members are fully solid.
There are no hollow tubes or hollow supporting structures.
All required structural members are properly connected.
The roof has a suitable printable thickness.
The model is watertight.
All sections successfully open and slice in standard slicing software.
No essential beams disappear in the slicer preview.
The divided parts include practical alignment or assembly features.
The final files are ready for FDM 3D printing.
Deadline
This is an urgent project.
The complete print-ready files must be delivered within a maximum of:
5 hours from confirmation and receipt of the Revit and AutoCAD files.
