Note
This tool works with ACIS objects only. It does not work with TCSurfaces.


Enables you to convert one or more surfaces / faces into a solid. The faces must be contiguous, but they do not need to share boundaries over the entire boundary length.

  1. Start with one or more solids. This example uses a 6-sided polygon extruded (using Simple Extrude) into a solid.

  3. Activate the Solid from Face(s) function, and the selected faces are now facets of a solid. Faces are added as needed to complete the solid.

    You do not have to start with a solid; this function also works with objects that are already surfaces.
