ACAD-SOLID FROM VOLUME SPACE

Hello,

 

I am using AutoCAD 2016.

 

I have two surfaces, a design surface and an existing topo surface.  The design surface is pond shaped and its perimeter, top edges tie-into the existing topo surface.  A want to create a solid from the volume space between the two surfaces for a rendering project.  I have tried using the Sculpt command that is supposed to do just that, but have not had any success getting it to work.  I have created a solid of each surface that is 2-ft thick (thin shell) and tried to Union the top (existing) and bottom (design) solids together to make a completed looking solid.  However, I have found that the processing is taking too long, so this method does not appear to be a very practical way to generate the solid that I need.  Does anyone have any ideas what would be an effective way to get the solid of a volume space between two surfaces?  I have Map3D and Navisworks software at my disposal if those would be a better choice?
