Hi,
I imported a geometry (dxf) into solidworks but, unfortunately, it appears as a faces (more than 2600 faces) even though the original geometry is solid body, how can i convert it to solid body in solidworks?
Regards,
Ome

ACIS solids can be imported into SolidWorks from DXF/DWG. You can check if it is a true solid in AutoCAD or a compatible app such as Intellicad by listing the entity info. It will report 3DSolid if it is a solid.
If its importing as faces (mesh) it may have been saved to an earlier version of DXF that does not support solids.
Its possible that repairing the object by using a utility such as Netfabb might join the facets so SolidWorks will recognize it as a solid. You could save it as an STL after its repaired and then import into SolidWorks using "Solid Body" in the STL import options.
Can you attach the original "solid body" file (not the SolidWorks file)?
