need help making a solid out of surfaces

hi,

I wanted to create a solid with angeled surfaces, but I didn't know how to modify the solid so I tried to arrange surfaces that define the solid I want to create. But when I tried to create a solid out of the surfaces, Autocad keeps saying that it isn't watertight. How can I fix the problem? Is it possible to create a solid out of arranged surfaces? Or is there a better way to create the solid?

thanks

Try running the ACISIN command selecting this file (after extracting).

 

(you might need to scale the solid after importing)

You can start with a polyline and EXTRUDE it to get an oversized solid then use SLICE and SUBTRACT to take parts off. Or you can extrude several small solids and UNION them together into one.

Looks like that would entail a bit of work - there are only 3 planar faces.

All of the other faces are twisted.
