How do you convert a surfaced iges file into solid - Solidworks 09
(OP)
I'm dealing with a complex curved Iges file. When I import the file it comes in as a surface. How do I convert this file to a solid?

Have you tried Import Diagnostics?. Right-click on the imported feature in the feature tree to run diagnostics.

Can you zip and attach or provide a url to the original IGES file here?

The header will tell you what system the IGES was created in.
An IGES and STEP file are plain ASCII test files which can be opened in Notepad.

IGES5.3 contains the full description of the header (global section) on page 18.
NIST also has something on this.
