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?"
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?
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.
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.
i have recived an igs fle which i imported into auticad 2012.when imported the and saved as an .dwg the model is in surfaces, im looking to convert the surface to solid so i can export the file as an .stl for 3d printing. is it possible to convert this?
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...
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 needed to prepare a Map in which certain area has to be marked out. I did with hatching spending hours on it. But i need to convert it into solid colors. Is it possible to convert them without repeating whole procedure?
Is it possible to Convert a Solid Work's file to Inventor?
(I can get the file to open, but when I go to edit there is no model to see, yet there is the model in the drop down menu and get this error message.)

The following table lists the parts and assemblies created in Inventor:
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.
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 drew a 3d shape using 3dpoly and I want to convert that drawing,which is now only a 3d sketch, into a solid.I have attached a picture of the lines sketch sulita.jpg.
How to convert 3D drawing drawn using the line in the 3D object / solid? Drawing is the image below and drawn using lines and polylines and I not use extrude options or other 3D options. [URL] .......
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 set of 8 coordinates that outline a pit. I have been asked to calculate it's volume. I have input the coordinates, and have produced a 3D image of the pit. I was hoping to be able to convert the object (the pit) that I have created to a solid, so I could then determine the volume, although it is proving to be difficult.
