If they're all separate Sheet bodies, simply Sew them together using...
Insert -> Combine -> Sew...
However, if what you've got is a 6-sided Sheet body that it not an actual Solid, you'll need to separate it into at least 2 separate Sheet bodies and then sew it back together which will then give you a Solid body. So, to do that, go to...
Insert -> Combine -> Unsew...
...and select anyone of the faces of the body and then hit OK. Now go back to workflow described above to Sew the Sheet bodies back into a Solid.
