Change surfaces to solid - Please help

Mark Dunavant Jun 15, 2015 2:27 PM

I have this group of surfaces I need to change into a solid (see attached file). I tried to delete and fill with no luck. I need to turn this into a solid so I can manipulate it and machine it on our CNC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

take a cross section through your part, and you will see surfaces on the inside that cannot be there in order to make a solid part.

Dig the scroll!.. but yes, you have a lot to cleanup for it to trim..
(btw, suggestion, too reduce the clutter, create another part and "insert part" just the surfaces of the scroll so you can work on that alone.
