I have an OpenSCAD model that uses some STL imports and the difference
command to create some threads. The model looks fine when compiled in F5
but when I Render using F6 the treaded holes created with the difference
command disappear.I was able to get them originally, but when I added more
elements to the model the will not show up in the F6 Render, almost like
there is not enough memory.There are no errors that come up in the dialog
box and Flushing Caches does not solve the problem.Running Mac OS 10.6.8,
6GB RAM, OpenSCAD version 2013.01

I've had the same thing happen as you show in the images. It's likely the
easy fix is to increase the length of the "differenced" part that creates
the threaded holes by 0.01 in the direction that is showing the half hole in
the image. Sometimes the peculiar behavior is the other way around, in F5 it
appears closed, while F6 will present an open (desired) hole.

There is a strong likelihood that the STL is invalid.
Check it with Netfabb or share it here and I can check it.

In the image provided, it would likely present a failure, but I'd expect that
once the difference cylinders or shapes are corrected, the whole package
would verify.
