Specify one of the following conversion options:
- Smooth, optimized. The resulting model is smoothed, with merged faces (SMOOTHMESHCONVERT = 0).
- Smooth, not optimized. The resulting model is smooth, with the same number of faces as the original mesh object (SMOOTHMESHCONVERT = 1).
- Faceted, optimized. The resulting model is angular, with merged, planar faces (SMOOTHMESHCONVERT = 2).
- Faceted, not optimized. The resulting model is angular, with the same number of faces as the original mesh object (SMOOTHMESHCONVERT = 3).
Click Mesh Modeling tabConvert Mesh panelConvert to Solid.At the Command prompt, enter CONVTOSOLID.
Select a mesh object that has no gaps or intersecting faces.
