Can this be done?
The model needs to eventually end up in Solidworks. I won't need to edit it but to be able to create a section from it, it needs to be a solid.
If I can get it to be a 3D solid .dwg then I know I can import into Solidworks.
Currently I only have meshes.
Edit - Just want to add - I have recieved 3D models in both DXF and STL format. An STL imported in Solidworks produces an 'STL Graphics' which is useless.
I can import the DXF, but it's not a solid nor does it give me any options, it's not even using Solidworks surfaces hence why I imported into Max hoping I can do something from there.
