I have a set of surfaces that form the shell of a solid I want to create. However, I've been having trouble getting it to make the solid. All surfaces are knit together, and when I created the last surface via a fill, it gave me the "create solid" option after I chose to merge. However, upon completion of the fill, the surfaces were not converted to a solid. Additionally, trying to thicken the surfaces does not give the option to create a solid, which would mean that somewhere is not "airtight," but I'm at a loss to where that is. I did use the geometry analysis and found things like four knife edges are present in the model. Would those knife edges be causing this?
I've attached a link to the part. Thanks in advance
Hi Keenan,
Just a quick glance at your model and I noticed that is not a complete shell. You can see them here in this screen shot. The tell tale sign is the blue edges I have circled here. Fill them in (there are a few more on the other side too) and you should be able to make it a solid.
If unable to see them, make sure this option is checked.
