Converting lines into a 3D solid/surface

Anonymous — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 15:01:22 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble trying to turn a number of SPLINES and ARCS into a solid. I have looked extensively and have yet to find a solution that works. I have tried:

Using the 'SURFNETWORK' command to create surfaces which I could then convert to solids, but this doesn't appear to work in circumstances where there are only three lines. I have tried breaking some of the curves in such a way that I would have 4 lines (2 in each direction) but for some reason this only works for particular parts of the model, despite what appears to be similar geometry (see attached image).
Using the 'CONVTOSOLID' command and turning all the curves into closed polylines.
Using the 'LOFT' command.

I've run out of ideas and I would really appreciate any help. I have attached the file and an image of the location where SURFNETWORK fails. Apologies if I'm making an obvious mistake here but I cant figure this out.

Thanks for reading.

Hi @Anonymous,

I found that many of the lines (arc and splines) didn't actually end at the some points. I took each section and cleaned them up a bit in order to perform an EDGESURF.
