And it's a pretty dense model. It's nice and completely uniform. If we go into analysis to inspector there's no problems going on here but if we go into over hangs and say generate support structures, Meshmixer takes quite a while to go and generate this. One two three four five and then you do some other operations for optimizing and it takes a long time. Now certainly I could orient this to make the model not have as many support structures but for many models that you might be working with especially ones that are sculpted. There might be a whole lot of time that you would be waiting for the support structures to be generated. Let's figure out how to make this process just a little bit easier. If you start off here with a model that is pretty complex your 3D print software likely is not…
