    Hello All

    I have a 3D edge surface. Is it possible to add a thickness to it
    and in this way to create a 3D solid?

    If not a solid is it possible to create a body or region aou of
    3D edge surface.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes. You need a lisp routine called M2S.lsp (Mesh to Solid).

    This will create a solid in the volume below your surface to a
    specified depth below the lowest point.

    If you want the lower surface to mimic the upper surface, copy the
    solid down and subtract the copy from the original.
