Solids from 3D mesh

IS it possible to get 3D features from FE entities.

I can only see the option for surfaces but not for 3D FE entities.

    Hi Chaithanya,

     

    You may have to extract face elements from solids. On these face elements you can get the features.

    Go to tool > faces to create surface elements

    Go to surfaces > from FE to create geometric surfaces from the above created surface elements

    Then use geometry > solids > bounding surfaces to create solid geometry from the bounding surfaces.

    This is okay. But isn't there an easier and proper way to create solids around an existing 3D mesh?

    This is not working for spheres! I get errors
