Surface to Solid

[lhoggeth]

Hi, hope you can help me.

How do I convert the surface model to solid? I need to store this model into the library....

Attached step file.

Many thanks

Hi!

Select all the surfaces, and use the STITCH tool.
If the model is correct, and there are no gaps in the surfaces, it will become solid.

I do not see a STEP file attached?

Hi, 

I'm not able to do this... please see below.  Any ideas? Thanks

It says - Create stitch failed

Stitch Surface1: could not build stitch surface

Trying again this time - attached.  Thanks.

There are quite a few missing surfaces in the geometry - does not form a "watertight" envelope.

Will require repair.

What version of Inventor are you using?

I removed the text, logo and patched some holes.

The part has some gaps (lack of surfaces) in some places, here's an example:

after close those gaps, it works.... check the attached file...
