Converting STEP format

Hello,

can anyone help me to convert file in STEP format do Inventor? I need to have box but it imports only as surfaces. When I want to stitch these surfaces an error appears that says that I have crossed syrfaces.

Did you know you can just right click on the surface (Composite 1) in the surface bodies folder and uncheck "translucent" ?

Why do you need a solid?

Not sure I understand why you need as a solid - looks like an off the shelf part, but try this one (see attached).
