Create solids from faces?

[painatalinho]

Hi everybody, is there a way to create solids from closed polyface meshes?

When I import objects from VIZ, from a simple box to a human body, it comes as a polyface mesh and I would need to have it as a solid.

Does anyone know how to do it?

thank you
regards

Yoy might try m2s.lsp from

The lisp file has this explanation:

M2S (Mesh-to-Solid)
;; Creates an ACIS solid from an open 3d polygon mesh.
;;
;; Take 2 - Updated 7/7/1998
;; - Works with REVSURF'd meshes that touch or cross axis of revolution.
;; - Works even if solid being constructed is not fully visible on screen.
;; - Works with all open meshes created with REVSURF, RULESURF,
;; EDGESURF, TABSURF, AI_MESH, and 3DMESH. Most of the stock 3D
;; surfaces will work if you use DDMODIFY to open them in the M
;; and N directions.
;; - Does not work with polyface entities.
