problem nel running a 3d mesh

[fabrizio UC21]

Hello everyone, I have a problem with acad 3d 2010 and I'm going crazy!

I have to draw a surface made up of polygonal mesh (a hyperboloid) generated by the revolution of a straight skew compared to another. I tried in every way, but I don't know why, with any command the software does not recognize the surface as such. if for example use (very simple method) subtract, and subraggo to the surface a solid, acad responds "no solids, surfaces, or regions selected".

even if I try to insert a section plan along the surface, the plan does not work! specific that the surface has been created with revsurf (mesh per revolution), while if I realize any surface with the classical command "revolves" then it is possible to draw, subtract etc. but hyperboloid can not create it like that!

Thank you in advance.

This happens because it creates a solid, not a surface.

you should solidify the surface hyperboloid before cutting it: someone 'Normodota' will tell you how to do with 2010.

In reality if I use it revolves, for example, with an arc around a straight, the software creates a surface, not a solid! So it depends on what is revolutionary.
the way to transform this surface into solid fear there is... :frown: because it seems like it is not a surface!! the "solid convert" command does not work.

until my 2006, the _revolve command does not support bows.. .

by curiosity, if you give the _list command to that revolutionary arc with _revolve, what do you get in response?

In fact, since 2008 the controls to work with the surfaces have increased considerably, yet I cannot solve the problem. using list, the revolutionary arc is a surface (surface). if instead select the paraboloid made with the straight, it gives me a set of objects (polyline, mesh, mesh, mesh) even if it is actually a selectable object with just one click.

Wrong. use the thickening command (_thicken)

 

[fabrizio UC21]

even thicken works... : Could the surface be built badly? It tells me, as usual, "no selected surface". I tried to explode it to see what was going on, and selecting the various panes that make up the surface, it tells me that they are 3dface. therefore should not be built badly, since if for example I realize a primitive mesh and explode, the faces are just 3dface.

I think I've solved it. :tongue:
for anyone who needs it: :bekle: by exploding the object, as I have already said, you get a series of mesh. Subsequently, in the working menus for mesh (modify->mesh editing) there are, at least in 2010 and following, a series of commands to transform mesh into solids and surfaces. done this, all commands work! thanks anyway to tristan and cadlandian for interest! !
