NEED Mid-Size Pickup 4WD Model - URGENT

NEED Mid-Size Pickup 4WD Model - URGENT

NEED Mid-Size Pickup 4WD Model - URGENT

(OP)
Hello all,
I agreed to do a side job when I found the model I needed on one of those online 3D sites.  I just need to make some modifications and billed accordingly.  However, I purchased the .STEP model online and it downloaded as surfaces.  I have no idea how to work with surfaces especially when over 300 of them are faulty or have gaps.

I am in dire need of a midsize 4WD pickup model and wary about doing another online purchase.  As long as the model is solid I can make the mods I need.  No interior details are needed.  Ford, Chevy, Toyota, etc. makes no difference.

Thanks in advance,
BB

Depending upon exactly what you need (how accurate) you can find some trucks on 3DCC {shudder}.  Also, Paul has a truck on his website: http://www.zxys.com/swparts/.  Alternatively, you could post the model that you're having trouble with here (or email it) so we can try to repair it for you.

If its a a single or a couple of knitted surfaces you could thicken the surfaces to a solid.

There is a selection if the surface is as they say "will hold water" it will say "Create solid form enclosed surface" or something to that effect. I don't have SW up to give you the exact message. When you select that option and click OK it should move the knitted surface to a solid.
