AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Convert 3D Polyface To 3D Solid
Nov 9, 2012
I'm creating an iPhone 4 case so it has a logo on it for my teacher. I got the case from thiniverse. It was a polyface mesh. i tried to subtract from it but it didn't work. I tried convtosolid but it didnt work. I exploded them and selected the outside shell and extruded all of the objects inward. Then when i tried to union them together, some of them would union, but not all of them together. im trying to export it as a .stl so I can use it with a 3D printer...
I'm using AutoCAD 2010 Educational version.

I have received a drawing drawn in a polyface mesh and I'm trying to convert it into a 3D shape in order to determine the volume and surface area of the shapes.

I created a 3D math surface using 3DPLOT. However my outcome is a polyface mesh and I need to convert it to a solid. I have already tried the "Convert to Solid" & "Convert to Surface" options in the Mesh tab but I get "Mesh not converted because it is not closed or it self-intersects." I also tried the f2s.lsp but I am unsure on how to select my object.
Here is my drawing.
It is basically a 3D plot of cos(x) + cos(y).

I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 and received a .DXF file that contains 'solid' objects. Unfortunately the next tool in my workflow doesn't understand 'solids' only polylines (and a few other basic shapes like circles, lines, etc). Is there some way to convert the object in AutoCAD?
I tried the 'boundary' command but when it asks to 'Pick Points' and I click inside the solid, it always gives the error 'Valid hatch boundary not found'.
What am I missing here?

I created something in Rhino and imported it in Autocad as .3ds file but the geometry is not a solid one but a polyface mesh and I cannot edit it with boolean commands, thus I cannot continue editing it...I found out that there is this plugin Mesh 2 Solid but it is not free and I cannot find a proper crack anywhere..I cannot find any other way to make mesh solid...

I have a 3d model of a building and all of the faces of the building are of the type polyface mesh. If I use explode, each polyface mesh gets split into individual 3d faces. But, I'd simply like to replace each polyface mesh with a 3d face (not multiple 3d faces). Is there anyway to do this?
The reason I'm doing this is because I'm importing the building model into ray tracing software, but the software doesn't like the building when the faces are of the type polyface mesh.

I just started with Autocad and I got a problem with creating a solid. The file is attached and as you can see I managed to make the form as a Mesh but from that point I can't convert it to a solid.

I have a.3ds file imported into Civil 3d. The object imported as a polymesh in Civil 3d. I need the solid 3d object to do some edit like slice or union and subtract.
The question is "How can I import .3ds into Civil 3d as a solid objects or hoe can i convert polymesh to solid?"

How can I remove the lines in the middle after I press and pull the objects.
Attached is the Untitle.jpg, to make more clearer to you. Blue is the wall and skyblue is the aquarium. I want the back and the front of the aquarium don't have any line in the middle but even I do shade command the fill of the color is still there. Cause if I explode and delete the line in the middle the colors that fill the aquarium are getting rid off See Untitled 2.Jpg to see what I mean. And also how can make the aquarium Untitle 3.jpg transparent?

I have this chair in 3d but it consists of 3d faces and i can not convert all of them into surfaces or solids...only the faces that are on the same plane can be converted. Since the object is a little curved...i get the message"faces are not coplanar"...or something.

I have some objects in AutoCAD Architecture that I need to convert from polymesh to solid. How to do this? I also have Revit Architecture if I can do it in there..
The objects are 3D light fixtures on a 2D floorplan. Can I export the whole drawing as one to convert it?

Then I need to extrude it, but when I extrude, it's shallow. So this 2D polygon need to have face. I've tried 3DFACE but then I need to add faces manually. Is there any way to just specify this polygon and have it faced?

Supposedly there's a way "To Convert One or More Surfaces to Solids":

However, I'm unable to find Home tabSolid Editing panelThicken.
I'm trying to take LIDAR/Point Cloud data and 3D print it (in the end, I need to make an STL file). I've created a 3D surface from Point Cloud data which results in a Raster Layer. I do not know how to convert the surface that's in the Raster Layer into a solid.

Is there a "simple" way to convert a 2d immage (photoshop file) to a 3d solid?
Basically I have a 2D image (a discus of sorts) that has geometrical shapes "cut out of it" (Imagine a circle with a triangle "missing" inside) and I'd like to create a evenly high discus with a triangle hole in it).. Let's say a coin that misses a triangle in it's mid.
Clearly I could draw a circle (surface) extrude it, then create a triangle (surface) and extrude that one and subtract one from the other, but since the image I have is a bit more complex I just wanted to know if there is a quicker/easier way.
Also I have a text in my discus, and drawing a text surface in AutoCAD is not really easy.

I am working on a research project that requires that I scan a cast object and shell it out to a width of .125 inches. I used my school's 3D scanner to scan the cast, and I have a good model. I've made it a surface and exported it as an STP and an IGS into Inventor. I used the Sculpt feature to make it a solid object, but then I could not shell it because a few flaws in the cast made miniscule holes.
I then tried to use the scanning program's spline feature to cut the cast into splines to loft in Inventor. However, this made 5 non-connected lines at each location, so I couldn't loft. How to create a solid and then shell with either method?

I have a pressure vessel which I am trying to analyse. Whenever I convert the solid into 'thin bodies', it loses some of the data. For example, a fillet and a supporting ring (refer to pic attached). I haven't been able to find any 'shell element' settings to adjust.
Also, I need to manually add contacts otherwise the vessel seperates into multiple bodies.
Even though the solid model is in contact, the 'midsurface' shell seperates it. Refer to part file attached.
I briefly tried to run the analysis as a solid model, but gave up as it was taking forever just to mesh.
