Rank: Guest Joined: 10/17/2017(UTC) Posts: 1		I have a solid object defined. I also have other objects needed to create a 'net surface'. How can i generate the 'edge' of the solid--it is the intersection of two cylinders--in order to define the second of the 'N' curves to create the surface. THEN, how should I convert the surface to a solid so that I can 3D print it? Thanks, CCD PS i can provide the file showing all this if it would help.

You will need to use the Stitch tool to combine the individual surfaces forming a closed volume and convert into a solid. If it is a thin wall surface, you could thicken the surface into a solid. Hope this helps, if not post the file! Tim
