Hello,
I got a 100Mb DXF file which seems to be a readapted STL 3D scanning as it is made of tons of small triangles and despite being on a quite new machine, the program frequently freezes.
Is there a way to replace all the triangles with a surface, possibly simplifying the drawing (I only need to split the elevons and modify the front cover of this delta wing plane?
Thank you

thanks the solution is working but it totally freezes the PC even on a small surface. Is thee any way to simply the computational time?

AutoCAD isn't that great at complex surfaces. You might be better off with Fusion 360 or a full-blown surface sculpting program for most, if not all, of such a process.

Here is the DWG, as suggested this format saves up a lot of space (21Mb vs 100Mb) but again even small surface union cmd isn't doable using a consumer pc.

Hi Giammarco,
I looked at your drawing and realized that @dgorsman was right - it is practically impossible to convert 3d faces that form the model into 3d Solids or Meshes in AutoCAD.
I used Rhinoceros for Mac to convert 3d faces in your drawing to 3D Solids, but at first I reduced meshes by 90% in Rhinoceros.
You can look at the result in attached drawings - Rhino export-solids.dwg - as it was exported from Rhino (solids)
and Rhino export-meshes.dwg - I converted solids, created in Rhino to Meshes to reduce file size.

Thank you very much
Actually that's the only solution as the file is too complex to create a mesh
