how to create a complex 3d solid for buildings ceiling

Hello, Autocad masters 😉

I have a problem when designing one building in 3d. The thing is i want to create a 3d model made only out of 3d solids.
So there is this complex ceiling, I made out of 3 meshes and above it, in the above floor,  there's a non cobplex plate.

This meshes are made based on the actual dimensions of different sides of the floor, are unique and are good approximation of the actual building's ceiling. So, I want to make 3d solid that would have the same bottom shape and the same - even top as in the picture if the space between the objects would be filled out.

thanks.

It looks like the mesh generated planar facets.  Is that really a good representation, or is it really smooth curves?

 

If really smooth curves then I would to Lofted surface and Slice with surface.

The bottom ceiling is made out of three meshes, and the top floor is just 3d solid (extruded rectangle). I tried lofting the two, but looks like you can't loft meshes, and i cant convert this mesh to surface, I get: Modeling Operation Error:
     Surface is G1 discontinuous.
Object cannot be converted.

I see what you have.

You didn't answer my questions about your true design intent.

Sorry, actually i dont understand what do you mean by "is it really smooth curves?"

My design intent is to make a plate between two floors made out of 3d solids, no surfaces and no shell-like entities.

The shape appears to be planar faceted faces to me.

Is this what you really want?

Or should it really be smooth - similar to portions of a sphere?
