Hello,

I have been working on a 3-D channel which has a varying cross-section. I modelled it using the "panel" property and then tried to convert it to a "solid"  section. However, I was not able to do that.(See "Panel Model") It gives an error ("The solid has not been created").

Afterwards, I tried to model a single cross-section with the "panel" property and then extruded it, however the channel has varying cross-sections and my model was wrong. (See "Extrude Model")

Can you please propose a solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance

It should work : movie: http://screencast.com/t/3CXaPazGs749

Check whether all panels are flat and connected or send us file.

Greetings,

is it possible to convert frames to solids?

In case of steel bars you can import model to ASD Steel.

The if you want you can export it as ACIS *.sat file.
