The Filled Surface feature constructs a surface patch with any number of sides, within a boundary defined by existing model edges, sketches, or curves, including composite curves.
You can use this feature to construct a surface to fill a gap in a model. You can use the
Filled Surface tool in these cases:
- Correct a part that does not import correctly into SOLIDWORKS (where there are missing faces).
-
Fill the holes in a part used for core and cavity molding.
-
Construct a surface for industrial design applications.
- Create a solid. Include features as separate entities, or merge those
features. To
create solids from surfaces, use a combination of the
Knit
Surface
and Thicken
tools.
