Converting surface model to solid ? 1

[tabby1]

Hi,
is anybody can tell me how to convert a closed surface model to a solid body ? Is there a command to do it ?
I am using 2009 software version.
Thank you

surface -> knit check the box that reads "try to form solid"

You can also use Thicken.

I also wish there were better ways.
Thicken and knit work, but try to read them into MasterCAM we have had problems, it wants to see the underlying original surfaces. I'm also running 2009, upgrading to 2010 next week.
