Use this method to convert 3D faces (3DFACE) and legacy polygonal and

polyface meshes (from AutoCAD 2009 and earlier). You can also convert 2D

objects such as regions and closed polylines.

The level of smoothness upon conversion depends on the mesh type setting

(

FACETERMESHTYPE (page 1329) system variable). If the mesh type is not set

to be optimized, the converted object is not smoothed.

To convert mesh objects to 3D surfaces or solids, use

CONVTOSOLID (page

229) or

CONVTOSURFACE (page 232) commands.
