    Default Convert Surface To Solid in AutoCAD 2002, Is It Possible?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Is it possible to convert surface into solid in AutoCAD 2002?

    For example, can I convert these five surfaces into a solid pyramid?

    If yes, what is the step to do it?

    No surface to solid capability in 2002.

    You could extrude that base directly using path (3 times) and solidedit intersection to finish.

    If the end result is a pyramid shaped 3D solid what does it matter?

    How is it not an answer?
    OK, here is a more precise answer to your precise question.
    You will need a later version of AutoCAD to convert surfaces to solids.

    Wasn't there a Pyramid command in r2002?

    If you are speaking about Primitives I know that AutoCAD 2000 came with six: box, sphere, cylinder, cone, wedge and torus. Not sure if pyramid was added in the jump to 2002.

    Just checked and Bob McFarlane's book Modelling with AutoCAD 2002 mentions the same six primitives.

    Yeah, I am not sure either as I don't have a copy installed to check. It might not have been.
