Yep.. You can convert a mesh STL file to a solid with this "Mesh Enabler"..

As for surface to solid there are functions like "Stitch" in Inventor already for that..

I think you meant STEP (*.stp), not stl (a completely different file type).

If I do a section view there appears to be a non-manifold issue with this slot.

What version of Inventor did you say you are using?

If 2021 - examine the Attached file.
