3D Face to Solid Lisp routine does not work on 2010, worked on 2009...?

[rob150588]

Hello,

 

I've got a lisp routine that converts an array of 3D faces into a 3D solid, f2s.lsp...if anyone knows it ? The routine worked perfectly on AutoCAD 2009, but fails to run on 2010 (64bit)...it just hangs on an unknown error until I cancel the funtion.

 

The error issued by the command line is:

 

; error: Function cancelled

 

Could anyone shed any light into why this might happen, wondering if it's a problem with AutoCAD 2010, or if it's just because it's 64bit ?

 

Cheers.

I'd probably post this over on the Autodesk's Autocad Customization NG. Bill Gilliss hung out over there. -David

Ok, Thanks David.

if you still need it solved...

 

i was in the same situation like you.

windows7 64bit acad 2010. f2s.lsp made the same error...

here is how i got to the solids... unfortunately not joined. this will be an other task. i have to do that later...

---

 

acad 2010:

- Modify -> Mesh Editing -> Extrude Face (or easy: EXTRUDE)

- select the objects you want to extrude (which become solids)

- specify the hight of extrusion or (direction/path/taper angle)

i used direction... therefore click start & endpoint

the 3d faces will be converted into solids...

if you want to save the 3d faces you should have to make copies.

 

e voila :-)

 

hope it helps

That's excellent, thanks very much. It seems to have a bit of an issue with the orientation of some faces but for the mostpart it works.

 

Again, thank you very much.

Sorry for resurecting an old thread...

 

Having emailed Bill Gilliss regarding the f2s routine, he has now fixed it:

 

I finally tracked down the problem in F2S.lsp (AutoCAD had changed the AREA command) and attach version 1.10 which should now work with all versions of AutoCAD. - Bill Gilliss.

 

I've attached the new one. Hopefully it helps some more people too.

F2S.lsp

Don't be sorry! A lot of people still use f2s. I'm glad Bill fixed it! -David
