Conceptual mass: create form, how to convert solid to surface?

Hi All,

 

While working in the conceptual mass environment, I have inserted a closed profile (1 polyline) from a dwg file.

 

What I need is to either extrude or sweep this profile as a surface, but obviously Create Form only gives me the solid option.

 

How do I go about doing this?

 

Thank you,

Samu

Redraw that shape using reference lines and splines. When you use Create form on reference lines, Revit gives you two alternatives: surface or solid. When you use model lines, there is no choice, but just solid.

B

If it is A then do the first steps indicated by Alfredo and when you have to select the line segments do it without one segment ( so to have an open shape) and Create Form > Solid Form:

Then , as a last step select the conector segment and Create Form > Solid Form. 

Strecth the uper edge till it reach the uther uper edges...

I was referring to A, and you gave me a clear answer.

 

Thanks again!
