Create a 3d solid

[alvaro_garci]

Hello,

I am trying to create a 3d solid from a model formed of regions and surfaces. I managed to do it using convrtsurf, union, and convert to solid. The problem is I had to xplode it to make some changes and now that I try again I can't do it. I've checked all the vertices and everything seems fine. 

Any ideas?

Thank you

May I ask what you needed to fix that required an EXPLODE? about have of your content now is just lines, did you add those as part of the fix by chance?

[alvaro_garci]

Yes exactly. I had to modify the shape and delete some parts. For that I had to xplode the regions and recreate them. I used lines to close the shape and create a region. Perhaps there are lines left I didn't use. But the lines wouldn't be the reason I cannot create a solid right?

the real problem no intermediate save of work in progress?  you can't go back?

attached is a partial dwg.  parts on different layers. subracted solids.  Look about right?

I don't know if your probem is solved in the menatime (you did not yet answer to the replies of @parkr4st and @pendean ). 

But on a current occasion  may I ask: 

Why do you not use the solid creating commands from the beginning for such models? It is often much more easy to handle and you avoid the "converting" problems of not watertight models. 

And if you need corrections or changes to a solid model - you don't need to explode the solid. There are a lot of commands to modify existing solid models.
