Surface created instead of a solid

[Karol-Or]

I used the extrude command but it created a surface

[Patchy]

No problem making it a solid with extrude

Hi,

Yes you're right BUT you can change it to solid from MOde under EXTRUDE command.

Command: EXTRUDE
Current wire frame density: ISOLINES=4, Closed profiles creation mode = Solid

Select objects to extrude or [MOde]: mo Closed profiles creation mode [SOlid/SUrface] <Solid>:

[Karol-Or]

I make what you both say, i use the MOde option, select solid but it still creates surface

[imadHabash]

have you change either the visual style?

Hi,

>> select solid but it still creates surface

Select the resulting object and look to the property window what object type is then shown as selected.

One word to your spline: control vertex 1 and 25 are the same, so double vertices at the same location. That is always critical.

In that case (using AutoCAD 2017 currently) I can use your spline, type in command _EXTRUDE, take care about option _MODE and that's working well (don't start it from the ribbon, because that can modify the setting of solid or surface)

Issue While Converting 2D Profile Drape into 3D Solid in AutoCAD
Dear Autodesk Support Team,
We are facing an issue while converting a 2D profile drape into a 3D solid in AutoCAD.
Our workflow is as follows:
We extracted top and bottom elevation values for each layer of the profile drape.
Along the alignment, we generated offset values at every 2m interval.
For each point, we have X, Y, and Z values.
The Z values are obtained from the 2D polyline using the corresponding X and Y coordinates.
However, while converting the 2D profile into a 3D solid, the software is not supporting the operation and the extrusion/solid generation is failing.
