Surfaces to solids
Surfaces to solids
(OP)
Hey, peoples.
I recently received a transplanted file from one of our customers, which is composed of nothing but about 3-400 surfaces. It's painful to load and maneuver around with, yet I need to include it in one of our assemblies. Is there any way I can just juice all of these surfaces into one big, dumb solid?
Thanks for any help!

RE: Surfaces to solids
I have found that it has been worth the money to have difficult files translated professionally so that they sew up into solids. Saves lots of time. Usually ROI on translation $$$ is about 3-4 man-hours for us and our burden rate. Also, solids behave better within assemblies and drawings.
And I'm available for consultation,
but remember your way in is also my way out

Sometime this flow must go back and forth a few times, but can generally help clean things up. Try checking the model for errors to determine your starting point to fix surfaces.
