How do I convert sketch to solid

[Anonymous]

Hi I got a 3dm file and I converted the file to DXF to open it in fusion 360. This is what I'm getting (see attached) and I was wondering how I can turn that into a solid.

Thank you

IF the lines are good and clean, then you'll be able to loft (possibly even sweep) that pretty easily.

BUT, the fusion has a way of mangling perfectly good curves on import, sometimes making it difficult to loft from.  It's usually suggested that you rebuild curves in fusion if you wan to use them for surfacing techniques.

attach your file for better help.

(to attach a file, export .f3d from the file menu, attach to post)

Can you attach the 3DM file too? I have a feeling the conversion from Rhino to DXF stripped out all the surface info and just left you with wires. It's not the end of the world but it sucks to rebuild if you don't have to.

I've attached the files.  It actually looks like its just in wireframes in Rhino as well.  Thanks for the help!

Actually, this works out pretty nicely.

If you upload the Rhino file into Fusion it comes in as a surface body. A stitch operation will bring it back together as a nice solid. This is an instance where the conversion process was harmful (as is usually the case, actually).

Great!  Thanks for the help.   I'm having trouble importing 3dm file to fusion360 as it can only export certain types of extensions. Please see attached.

You actually have to upload it to the browser.
