Convert surface into volume

User: "VirgileV"

Hi , I'm using Solid.Inspire and after using polynurbs I obtain volumes and surfaces (don't know why) as shown in picture attachment -surfaces are red circled. 

Can I convert those surfaces into volumes in order to export in CAD ?

Thanks for answers

    Hello,

     

    As you can see in the model browser, there are 2 surface parts (flat surface, instead of cube; nb. 6 and 6.2).

    Since the mass is zero, they also have no thickness.

    If the object has still all surfaces to build a enclosed volume, than you can try to 'Boolean->Combine->Pick the part(s) in browser->Press 'combine'.

    Otherwise you have to check it for open holes, close it and try Boolean.

     

    Best Regards,

    Mario

    Agree on Marios advice!

    You can check for open volumes by using the 'patch' command.
