Kevin McAllister 1,142 Posted April 4, 2013 Is there a way to convert an extrude directly to a generic solid? It seems there are a lot of work around but Vectorworks won't allow me to convert them directly. (This is not something I would normally do. I'm having some file conversion issues and things like symbols and extrudes seem to be disappearing in the conversion. My collaborator is using a high end industrial program called NX6. Ironically it imports Parasolid but apparently not a Parasolid file generated by Vectorworks.) Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post
Kevin McAllister 1,142 Posted April 4, 2013 Interesting. When I initially tried converting various extrudes, none of them would convert to Generic Solids. After restarting Vectorworks the conversions are now working fine. I guess I stumbled onto some sort of bug. KM Quote Share this post Link to post
mgebel 9 Posted January 6 There is a shortcut for Convert to Generic Solids, which is (win) ctrl+alt+shift+h. Quote Share this post Link to post
zoomer 955 Posted January 6 Converting Extrudes to Generic Solid was never a problem for me. And since a few years you can even directly convert Meshes into Solids, with out the workaround by a PushPull back and forth. (The Meshes have to be ok and water tight of course) I have things like "Convert to Solid" in my customized right mouse option menue. Quote Share this post Link to post
ford519 5 Posted January 23 (edited) Is there a way to convert ALL solids to generic solids? All my object history is slowing down my file a lot... EDIT: nevermind! duh! you can just select everything and do it all with one command Edited January 23 by ford519 Quote Share this post Link to post
