I have a surface model from a vendor of a motor driven linear
actuator. The problem I am having is I have to change the
configuration of there model when I use it in an assembly to show
what it will look as it moves through the cycles. I used
Body-Move/Copy and got the model into the configurations I need but
then when it is used in an assembly some of the surfaces disapear
and I get a ton of mate errors. To solve this I have to go back and
open up the model, suppress and unsuppress stuff to make the model
look right and then it displays in the assembly correctly, but if I
change configurations of the assembly I have to go through this all
again. Is there any simple way to convert a surface model to a
solid? I can' fill all the gaps if when I am done I can make a
solid but if I will just be adding surfaces to the model then I'm
not going to bother.
