Quilts and Solidifying

$

Hi All,

 

Hope you are all enjoying your holidays.

 

I currently have a quilt that wont solidify properly. I have built a skeleton model of a mouse and because of the tight curvature it will not thicken properly...which is fine... i knew that was going to happen.

So in one instance, I've thickened with special handling conditions, and the surfaces that haven't thickened, i've 'patched' over using the 'style tool' and created what i know to be a watertight quilt. All the quilts merge correctly too. However, when it comes to solidifying the warning 'one-sided edge found in solidify' shows up. When examining the failed feature there are small crosshairs on what i assume to be open quilts... although some are on the original skeleton model surface which should not be possible, as i copied the geometry through...?

 

Instead of thickening upon retrying, i offset the surfaces that would offset and then patched the whole model. Again, it merges together fine but this time it does not give me the option to solidify. Any ideas?

 

Please have a look at the attached pictures and i'll try and describe as best as i can

 

Cheers,

Ray
