I'm converting, okay trying to convert, a fairly complex set of curves (3 views of an engine) to solids, with some difficulty.
One thing that bothers me, in trying to extrude (within the conversion toolbar), is that SW has a strong preference for making the solid 'thin'. I.e., it comes up with 'thin section' checked, greyed, and unchangeable. I, personally, have no preference, but the 'thin' seems to cause build errors that prevent completion of the solid. Last week, I managed to change the dialog to 'not thin', and the polygon extruded beautifully and all that.
Anybody got clues for how to deal with SW in this corner of its capabilities?
