DescriptionObject

Cannot be a planar surface with contiguous edges or an exploded

3D solid box into six regions. However, you cannot convert those

separate objects back to a solid with CONVTOSOLID.

Separate objects

that simulate a

closed surface

Cannot convert separate objects unless they enclose a volume

without gaps. If the surfaces enclose a watertight area, you can

convert to a solid with the SURFSCULPT on page 1023 command.

Planar surfaces

with contiguous

edges

Cannot convert separate objects (in this case, regions) with the

CONVTOSOLID command. You can, however, convert them to a

solid with the SURFSCULPT on page 1023 command.

Exploded 3D solid

You can select the objects to convert before you start the command.

The DELOBJ system variable controls whether the geometry used to create 3D

objects is automatically deleted when the new object is created or whether

you are prompted to delete the objects.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select objects Specifies one or more objects to convert to 3D solid objects.

You can select objects with thickness or mesh objects.

If one or more objects in the selection set are invalid for the command, you

will be prompted again to select objects.
