yes, that would be nice, but it is not possible.  You can only convert a single face of a solid to a T-Spline (Form)

Your solid body is clearly based on a a T-Spline. Why would you first create a T-Spline, convert it onto a solid and then convert it back to a(nother) T-Spline ?

hi @asif.ahmed.cr7  Here you have what you want, but know that I had to delete a surface for this, which you have to re-enter later. have fun - greetings mango

I want to use form tools for further editing with this model. How can I do this?

That cannot be done automatically.

Forms are built (if modeled correctly) by quad faces.

Solid Bodies are built from trimmed NURBs surfaces, which may or may not be in quad shape. Thus they have a differnt topology that cannot be directly converted.

Okay, Can I change this model opacity and Create a new form body and adjust it exactly the same as this? But when I click the create form button it tries to convert existing model intro forms. How to create a new separate body with forms in this existing model. Thank you.
