Not able to convert Joined surfaces to Solid
Not able to convert Joined surfaces to Solid
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to close (with Close operator) the surfaces that were joined with JOIN operator, as I want to get a solid. And i'm not able to do so and gives the following error message "an opening in the seleted body can not be closed by one single planar face. Modify the part". What is this and why.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Not able to convert Joined surfaces to Solid
You can also try to heal the surfaces instead of JOIN, and it will adjust the edges to close the volume, as you modify the parameters.

You should be able to see the problem if you use boundary operation on the surface.
The other ways is to deform it so it closes with healing or patch it with fill operation.

Add new surfaces to join.
Repeat if necessary.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before resting before you get tired.

Many thanks for your views. And I tried to fix the problem,
but not able to do so. I dont agree with Cadfish, as to remove the planar faces. Error message is '"an opening in the seleted body can not be closed by one single planar face. Modify the part". It does mean that, I think, Catia
can take care of closing the gaps if any planar faces required.
If I'm wrong, how to find these planar faces that are creating problem, so that I could delete them, to get the solid. At Present, Using the method suggested by DBezaire and Azrael. But then too, there were boundaries that I have filled with surf, but not working out...trying,,trying....
Any body has a good material of problems encounterd in surfacing and how to fix them....
Thanks

Duplicate surfaces
Embeded surfaces
Self intersecting surfaces
Overlapping surfaces
If you have the healing assistant license use the connect checker in this to identify the problem surfaces. if you only have GS1 or better still GSD then use the surface & curve connect checker to try to identify the problems (its harder using these tool relative to the HA1 tools) also the boundary command can be useful for identfy holes
If only the bean counters saw the amount of time regulary spent fixing transfered files they would soon stop it or purchase the tools to speed up the fixing process.

This might help you find where you have problem.

JOIN small amount of surfaces... time consuming but sometime the best way...then JOIn small JOIN into bigger one untill you have a close volume.
