Sewing Solids

[QShan]

Is there a way to sew two solids together other than Insert->Feature Operation->Sew which tells me that I "cannot sew solids into a sheet"? I started with serveral sheets, applied a thickness to them and now I want to make sure they are one solid. I can't sew them first because the thickness option doesn't work once they've been sewn together.
Thanks

Once they are thickened into solid bodies, try to Unite them rather than sew.

Thanks for the hint looslib. That works on about half of the surfaces I have. On the other half, I get error messages reading "Non-Manifold Solid" or "Internal error: Memory access violation" or Unigraphics closes on it's own. Any ideas?

Put your maintenance dollars to work and contact GTAC.

I second Ben's advice. Memory Access Violations are sure signs of either buggy software or corrupted parts.
