IGES import as solids

[whunter]

Is there an option to import an IGES file specifying that F360 must try to form solids? There are options like this in Inventor and SOLIDWORKS, but seemingly not with F360?

Else, is there a way I can convert, in one fell swoop, all the unstitched surfaces (patches) I currently end up with, into solids? I have to do this manually one at a time per component, and it's taking too long (not productive at all).

If you go to the patch workspace on the modify menu there's an option Stitch make sure the selection filer is set to through and window select all the surfaces.

Thanks, but I have 18769 individual surfaces... I first get the below after I selected all surfaces, no idea what the green and red lines are, not part of the model, obviously some sort of graphics glitch. I have a NVIDIA Quadro card. But I can't get further than this, F360 just hangs (Not Responding).

 I'll open it in SOLIDWORKS, will save it as a STEP, then reimport into F360 - should work.

Pity, I've realized over the last few months that it's going to take a few more years before I can ditch SOLIDWORKS.

The green lines should show where edges are able to join and red show where the model's open. It looks line the green and red lines are disjointed from the model for some reason, I have seen that before and I should have sent it to support so they could fix.
