[NOT A BUG] upload sketchfab resets reconstruction region

ok, so it’s something more complex or confusing than that…
This one correctly loaded even after smoothing and simplify tools

Only difference I can remember is this time I exported the reconstruction region before I ran the tools (so I could just reload it if something got confused). Perhaps the region this time was interior to the tray, when past attempts had it near but not inside?
Clutching at straws…
Thank you

(yes that is a mining/geology core tray… usually we only take one picture but I got a the guys to take a couple extra so we could try modelling it)
