Hello @katneckk Sorry for the potential confusion. Once you import the CAD geometry using this direct import method, you need to create a virtual geometry for each surface. Then in the extrusion guide, you need to pick an edge set and the virtual geometry it pairs up with. Repeat for each edge/surface pair. See the 2nd image. I've done this and was able to get the solid generated as shown. Do not use all the edges together. Please let me know if this helps.
Regards Sean
