I created this wire frame with lines and polylines, and now I want to turn it into a solid. Any bidders...![]()

First, you only need the base shape, so you can erase the verticals and the top. Create a Region using your base shape and then use Extrude. You don't say which version of AutoCAD you're using so details will vary but essentially, that's it.
Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

Sorry, I'm using 2k7
Region and Extrude worked great! Once again, thanks. I've only been using CAD for a week and a half now, so appreciate the patience.

You get today's prize for resurrecting the oldest post (circa 2006).
Create the profile of the object. Covert it to a Region. Extrude or Press/Pull the object the required height. Done.
If you Extrude lines and arcs you'll end up with Surfaces. So you must either use Pedit and join everything up as a continuous poyline or use the Region command.

All you need is the base profile - don't need Region, don't need Pedit.....
Simply presspull and click inside the profile and enter height.
