Hi @umazab,
converting a mesh body to a solid is a computationally very hard. The different options are designed to work for different kinds of meshes: https://help-staging.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=MESH-CONVERT-TO-SOLID
However, none of these methods will work well for scan data.
For scan data, try to follow the workflow "create mesh section sketch" to manually build up a solid body.

This is not as automatic as the Convert-command but gives you full control over the body you model.
