: If a solid fails to form, your surfaces may have small gaps or "naked edges." Use the Check tool (under Evaluate) to find "Open surfaces" or "Invalid faces."

: Used when multiple surfaces enclose a volume. Go to the Surfaces tab and select Knit Surface . Select all the surfaces that form the closed volume.

Check the box in the property manager. If the surfaces perfectly enclose a space, SOLIDWORKS will automatically convert it into a single solid body. sc24855-SFCOE.rar

Choose the direction (inside, outside, or mid-plane) and set the desired thickness.

: If your solid is already modeled but needs to be recognized as a sheet metal feature, use the Convert to Sheet Metal tool. Select the base face. Specify sheet thickness and bend radius. Select edges for the bends. Troubleshooting : If a solid fails to form, your

Check the option to convert the patched enclosure into a solid immediately.

: Useful for closing open gaps in imported geometry. Use the Filled Surface tool to patch any holes. Check the box in the property manager

To convert a surface or complex geometry into a in SOLIDWORKS (which appears to be the CAD software relevant to your file type), you can use several standard methods depending on your starting geometry. Common Methods to Create a Solid Body
