Create Solid from Face(s)

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.

2. Activate Facet Edit and select one or more faces. (See Facet Edit) Use Shift to select multiple faces.

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.

4. You will be prompted as to whether you wish to retain the original object.
