AutoCAD 2013 :: Make Object Into 3D Solid After Exploding?
Oct 14, 2013
If I modify a 3D solid and it is left with two seperate pieces it is still one solid piece, even though there are two parts. My question is: What if only need one of those two sides? If I explode the object and delete the one side I cannot change the remaining object into a 3D solid. It remains as surface object.
How can make an object into a 3D solid after exploding it? I belive there is a simple command like union or some other but I can't remember.

I'm working on a project, and I need to make this collection of surfaces into a single solid object. I tried using sculpt, and after a few hours of trying to find the leak, I have failed. not watertight.
Also, I need to get this thing to a cnc mill, and they keep asking me for 2d drawings, dimensions, and tolerances. I assumed the 3d file would be good enough. How to make a file ready for a cnc, and how to make 2d drawings without putting 600 measurements all over the image? Every time I try to do a 2d object, the whole thing is a mess.

Insert a Raster Image or an OLE object (like a selection from a XLS worksheet).
Explode the Raster Image/OLE object.
=> the Raster Image/OLE dissapears and the frame remains (LINE objects).
I think that these types of entities should not allow exploding.

I have a bunch of points that I am trying to turn into a solid object. I am doing this by using the 3D poly command and then LOFT, UNION and CONVTOSOLID. this has previously worked well, but this time when I use the LOFT command it does not produce a 'closed' surface, but rather a grid like surface which wont convert to a solid. Are there different settings for the LOFT command, and if so, How do I change them to produce a closed surface?

I have a problem in autocad7, once i explode text to make it a vector the vectors go from being curves or radius to straight lines, how to make them into curves as we have to run a cutter path the only thing is they cant be splines.

I have a Mechanical drawing with numerous Xrefs. I need to make changes to the Plumbing layers which is in O-Xref layer. I have tried to bind all Xrefs but cannot bind all of them. The piping is in the O-Xref layer. I cannot explode nor can I Xref-Edit anything in this layer. This is one of a number of drawings but this is the first one that I cannot explode or edit the layer and I have never run into this problem before.
Is there a way that the file can be locked up to prevent editing?

I'm trying to export some AutoCAD files to SketchUp as DWGs... everything comes through fine, but the text (and certain other line-types) won't transfer over. I know that with AutoCAD 2008 using Express Tools, you could do this easily by exploding the text. How can I explode text using AutoCAD 2013, so that it will export as vectors in the DWG file?

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 a series of block references in a tool palette which I want to explode once inserted. Simple I think, just set the 'explode' property on the tool palette icon.
Wrong. What actually happens is that in my case where the block refernce is simply two blocks inserted on different layers, the tool palette will insert onto the layer specified, and then explode, moving each block from its original later, onto the layer the host block is inserted on.
For example:
BlockRef_A consists of two enties:
BockRef_1 on Layer1Blockref_2 on Layer2
Using the tool palette to insert and explode using the 'use current' for the destination layer, I get the following:
BlockRef_1 on 0
BlockRef_2 on 0
Both the destionation layer (Layer1 Layer2) already exist in the target drawing.
It looks to me like autocad is importing the block, exploding it, moving it to the required layer.
This doesn't happen to any other entities, if there's a block that consists of a mix of parts, only the block references within it get moved to the destination layer.

Pulling apart a drawing that someone else did, each block contains a set of text that I need, along with the polylines for editing, however, when I explode these blocks to edit the polyllines - all of the text inside the blocks changes to generic terms like "AUX".
I assume that these blocks go to a lookup table of some sort to find their names, but it's not something I'm familiar with - is there a way to get the text to "hardcode" or something? Just force it to stay as it is before I explode the block?

I am making a design on inventor 2013 for a colleague who does not know how to use the inventor.
I want to make the solid and then set something up that allows the user to change a few of the parameters of the solid in a very user friendly way (i.e. a box that says "cylinder radius" and has an input box so the user can enter a value).

I have finally created the shell of the complex surface that you see. This is only a section of the part because I cannot show the whole thing for proprietary reasons. I formed solid surfaces using the network command. The propblem is that it will not convert to a solid because the surface seams are not "water tight." When the network command created the solid surfaces, the surface seams do not exactly match the lines so there are gaps in all the seams. I have tried blending, patching, etc. and nothing works. how to convert this to a solid without losing the outlines and the shape?

Is it possible to trim a 3d solid using another 3d solid as a cutting edge? I want to cut the edges of a dam using the natural ground surface (which is also a solid) as my cutting edge.

i am having a hatching issue, it seems no matter what hatch pattern i use and what hatch scale, alot of the hatch looks solid instead of the pattern i want, for example i am using currently ANSI37 @ Annotative with a scale of .20 and on the same paperspace page one plan with the hatch shows the cross hatching and the other one below looks solid (see attached) now i can go and say change the hatch scale and it reverts to the cross hatching, but then when i zoom out it goes back to "solid" is it a graphical issue?

how to extend a solid object. You can see at the picture that I attached what I mean and also I will try to explain. I draw a fence 1.5 m high. At one specific part of the yard I want the fence to be 2.0 m high. So I moved upper part (horisontal) of the fence to the height of 2.0 m. Now I want the 2 vertical poles to "extend" to that height. Now I can delete those poles and use extend command from the bottom and then use silce command. I was just wondering if their is a command that I can use to grab the pole as it is now and pull it up to the new height if that is possible without erasing it.

I'm trying to draw a solid object. I have the top and bottom base, and all I want is to loft that thing, but when I do, it only lofts the limits - it results in a hollow object.

I am currently working on an assembly and want to view it as an isometric view, but, I want to see parts behind a particular object. My question, Is there a way to change the transparency of one object without changing the effects of the other parts? I want to be able to see the front object as well as the one behind it.

I am trying to convert a mesh to solid in AutoCAD 2010 using the CONVTOSOLID command but I get this message . . .
'Mesh not converted because it is not closed or it self-intersects. Object cannot be converted.'
Is there another way of achieving this?

I have the 3d model of a ship, but it has no surfaces or solids, just lines. I want to create some solids based on those lines.
It's better if i attach the dwg to the post and explain what i want to do:
- in the file attached there are some lines marked with red and blue
- i want to create a solid/3dobject by extruding/lofting the red lines along the blue lines.
In the drawing only a few lines are colored, for better understanding. I tried with loft, but it only creates some surfaces. The point is that i need a solid or a 3d object.

I can use SolidSelection.Item for 3D object's handles and but I can't take 3D object's volumes with SolidSelection.
Then I can put object 's handles(1EE) to a collection. Can I use SolidSelection to keep my 3D volumes values? All sub-structure of my program works with SolidSelection Object.
Volume Codes;
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then
Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid
Set tEntSolid = tEnt
tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume)
End If
Next
I can't match with returned result of these codes and SolidSelection.item(i)
For Each tEnt In ThisDrawing.ModelSpace
If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then
Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid
Set tEntSolid = tEnt
tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume)
