      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am having trouble converting my solid drawing to a stl file.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have attached the .dwg file for you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is possible that I have not converted it successfully to a solid.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;Paul,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;There are only&amp;nbsp;surfaces in your drawing, but AutoCAD can export to STL solids or watertight meshes.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;In the attached drawing I was able to recreate your object as 3D Solid by using parts from surface object as cross sections (rectangle, triangle and circle in red color) and&amp;nbsp;guides (splines in yellow color)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Then I was able to export to STL with different resolutions by changing FACETRES system variable before exporting:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2019/ENU/index.html?guid=GUID-5E9946B5-D769-4881-BC0F-21F54840683D" target="_blank"&gt;https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2019/ENU/index.html?guid=GUID-5E9946B5-D769-4881-BC0F-21F54840683D&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Maxim,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I really appreciate your reply. &amp;nbsp;It is very good.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I will soon mark it as the accepted solution.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I apologize for taking so long on this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I had to do my tax return.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But I should be able to go right on now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD GO THROUGH THE STEPS IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL, &amp;nbsp;ABOUT GOING FROM THE SURFACES TO THE SOLID? &amp;nbsp;I USED THE LOFT COMMAND TO MAKE THE 3D VISUALIZATION. &amp;nbsp;BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE STEPS TO GO FROM THERE. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;DO I NEED TO USE THE LOFT COMMAND? &amp;nbsp;OR WAS THAT WRONG?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;START WITH THE CREATION OF THE SURFACES: &amp;nbsp;RECTANGLE, TRIANGLE, AND CIRCLE.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;OR THE NEXT STEPS.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;FORGIVE ME IF I AM RETARDED UNDERSTANDING YOUR REPLY AS IT EXISTS.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;SINCERELY,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;PAUL WOOD&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here are the steps I used:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At first I had to "extract" cross-sections and guides from your surfaces as I didn't have the original objects at hand. I used EXPLODE command two times until I got lines (parts of rectangle and triangle), circle - for cross sections parts and splines for guides.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then I copied from exploded "heap" only objects I needed - one circle, three lines for triangle, four lines for bottom rectangle and five splines for guides. I need 5 splines, because one of the guides was divided into two parts for some reason.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then I used PEDIT command to create closed lines from 3 lines (triangle) and from 4 lines (rectangle), then I used SPLINEDIT to join one of the guides.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The last step - creation of 3D Solid with LOFT command: I selected 3 cross sections and used Guides option to select 4 splines I prepared for guides.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And here is screencast:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;div class="video-embed-center video-embed"&gt;&lt;iframe class="embedly-embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F8ZEh27S-y9w&amp;amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8ZEh27S-y9w&amp;amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F8ZEh27S-y9w%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;amp;schema=youtube" width="200" height="113" scrolling="no" title="YouTube embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture;" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
