how to convert a faceted hollow body to a solid body?

[Subashni Ravichandran]

Hello Pavel Mareš

Are you using Discovery or SpaceClaim for this?
In both, you can just right click on the Facet body and Convert to solid.

Is there any error you are seeing?

SpaceClaim

this is coming, but it is too big:

To set STL file options
Select STL in the panel on the left.
Set Import options:

Units: Choose a system of units.

Import as:

Connected faceted body: Create a lightweight mesh with full connectivity information between facets.

Simple faceted body: Create a lightweight mesh with no connectivity information between facets.

Solid/surface body: Convert STL triangles into full geometry.

Check the Merge faces check box to seamlessly merge one or more faces.

Thanks!

So did the Convert to solid option work? Is the issue resolved?
