Required propertiesObject
Closed, zero-width, with thicknessPolyline
Encloses a volume with no gaps between edges (such as a revolved
surface that is capped at both ends or closed mesh objects that
Surface
were converted to surfaces). If the surfaces enclose a watertight
area, you can also convert to a solid with the SURFSCULPT (page
1058) command.
Limitations on Conversion to Solid Objects
DescriptionObject
Cannot contain zero-width vertices.Polyline
Cannot contain segments of variable width.Polyline
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 (page 1058) 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 (page 1058) command.
Exploded 3D solid
You can select the objects to convert before you start the command.
The DELOBJ (page 1251) 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.
