Converting Simple to Complex Solids

Convert simple solid entities to complex solids.

\solconv

 

Simple entities consist of two polygons connected by surfaces that are not polygons. They are created by such commands as Expanding a polygon into a solid (\p3d) or Creating a solid from two polygons (\sol2s), or any of the prism creation commands. 3D walls are also simple polygons. All surfaces of a complex polygon are polygons. They are created by commands such as Creating a solid by rotating a polygon (\rosol) or by sectioning or Boolean operations on simple solids.

Choose whether you want to convert individual entities or all the simple entities in the model.
