How to turn a bluesurf capped surface into a solid body?
(OP)
Hi,
Maybe someone can help on this one.
I have been trying to turn this bluesurface fancy surface into a solid body with no success.
What would be the general guidelines to create bodies from a closed surface?
So far I have had some success with boolean operation and closed surfaces but could not do the same with bluesurfaces.
Hints anyone?
BTW I am not more precise on purpose because I would like general guidelines on how to work with surfaces.

Procedure is to create a series of surfaces which form a closed envelope, then Stitch them. If SE finds a volume which can be solidified when the surfaces are Stitched, it will offer you this option (to create a BodyFeature).

Hope this helps.

You can use all the surfacing tools including blue surfs to create a set of closed surfaces. Then use stitch surface to make one closed surface only.
If you didn't have a solid feature in your part, the solid should already be created.
On the other hand, if there was a solid already (whether it is touching your surfaces or not), you can use boolean unite to create the additional solid based on your stitched surface by selecting it.

Try creating a closed surface completely inside a solid feature then using Boolean Intersecting operation.
