Matthew Fudge Apr 14, 2017 7:52 AM

I am trying to create a solid from an imported STL file but keep getting a "faces and surfaces cannot be knitted into one surface" and i can't seem to find out why it is not working.

im also have the same problem with other files.

anyone able to help?

Thanks

Matthew,
Try to knit few individual surface bodies and then do a final knit with these 2 bodies
During the last knit, enable the option to "create solid"
If you window select or select all option fail, if there is any surface bodies in the air (I think this is the cause to fail)

Hope this works

  Thanks they help me knit them into one piece.
  I am still getting an issue when i select the create solid box. it completes and says no errors but when I do a section view it shows as hollow still.
  
  Never-mind i did it 2 more times the same way and for some reason it actually worked!
  
  Thanks!
