Combine a Surface body with a Solid body? 1

[tmalinski]

Is there a way without exporting, (I need to keep all of my history) to combine a Surface body with my Solid body?

Thanks,
Tom

I just figured it out, I knit the surfaces together to create the surface body, but I should have checked the "make solid" option

Thanks anyway

You can also use Thicken to make a solid out of an enclosed surface body. If a closed body is selected, there will be a checkbox.

Thanks, TheTick
I've used thicken before, but this model is two surfaces used to create a lofted surface with no constant thickness.
