 "title": "Check a part for overhangs and thin walls",
 "page_title": "How to check a part for overhangs and thin walls with SOMA",
 "summary": "Run the analysis tools on a model to find overhangs, thin walls and weak spots before printing.",
 "who": "A 3D printing hobbyist about to print a functional part who wants to catch problems first.",
 "problem": "Failed prints from unsupported overhangs or thin walls waste material and time.",
 "outcome": "A list of printing and strength issues the agent can fix in the model code before you print.",
 "steps": [
  "Open the model in SOMA and make sure the agent has built it.",
  "Ask the agent to analyze the part for overhangs and wall thickness.",
  "Run `soma analyze` to get the analysis results.",
  "Send the results back to the agent and ask for changes to the flagged areas.",
  "Export the updated model as STL or 3MF."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the SOMA model folder for <model name>, run `soma analyze` on the model and list every overhang and wall thinner than <minimum wall thickness> millimeters. Propose code changes for each issue, then run `soma build` and confirm the build still succeeds.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README lists analysis for overhangs, wall thickness and FEM strength, but it does not say how accurate the results are, so check important parts yourself.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Windows, Linux, or macOS (Apple Silicon) with a SOMA package downloaded from somacad.app/download or the releases page",
  "A CLI agent such as Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI or Gemini CLI, installed and logged in by you",
  "About 1 GB of free disk space for the installed app"
