Creating Solid part from .step file

[twspatrick]

Hi,

I have recieved a .step file and am trying to convert this into a solid part. I have tried using the stitch feature however this doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

Thanks

Tom

Yes, here is an idea - zip and attach you STEP file here.

 or

read this http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/AU2008/ML205-1P%20Mather.pdf

(as a start - doesn't cover the newer Repair Environment).

Or you could go back to where you got the step file from and ask for a different file format.  Preferably Inventor (.ipt) or Solidworks (.sldprt).

If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Thanks, I've had a look at the document but haven't made progress so I've attached the compressed step file. Any help would be appreciated.

I used the sculpt tool to turn it into a solid body. Is that what you were looking for?
