Hello
 
I am new to CAD. I hope you guys can help me.
 
I have a dxf file containing a mesh (from photogrammetry/drone). My goal is to convert the mesh into a solid.
 
DXF is exported from Agisoft Photoscan.
CAD software I am using is Autocad.
 
What I have tried:
 
1. Convert dxf to dwg (as my customer wants dwg)
2. Then convert the mesh to surface.
3.Then union all surfaces.
4. Either use "convert to solid" function or "thicken". Convert to solid gives Message: "108314 Objects cannot be converted".
Thicken command makes the model look very strange.
 
Also Worth mention: mesh is fairly complex, With Threes and buildings. Also there is a large number of faces/triangles in the mesh.
 
Hope somebody can help me With a workflow that can give me the results I want.
 
Thanks,
 
SH
