How to quickly create surface bodies from multiple closed edge loops of an imported DXF file?

[Karthik Remella]

Select Fill tool and then select all the edges using box select. This will quickly create a single surface for all the edges. Though a single surface is created, it will have the imprints of all the edge loops present in the model. Now, if you select that single surface and then right click and select "Detach All", all the closed regions will separate out into separate surfaces.

Fill command fails to create surfaces. Why?

[Karthik Remella]

Please observe the edge loop closely. It may not be closed. Please close the edge loop and then use Fill command.

Can I use any different command to create surfaces from edge loops which are not closed?

[Karthik Remella]

Yes, you can create surfaces from edges with different commands in SpaceClaim. You can use Blend tool or you can use Pull command to create surfaces from edges. Please see help document for more details about Blend and Pull command.
