I am creating a 2D drawing using polyline, welding all segments together and then revolving 360 degrees. Everything looks correct and the revolved object appears as a wireframe model that you can shade as you wish.. When I try to export as STL it tells me that no solid were detected.
The help file says "Use the revolve command to create a 3D solid by revolving a 2D object about an axis." - That's exactly what I did.
It also says "The difference between 2D and 3D surfaces is that 3D surfaces are shown as wireframe models, not solid areas. " - It is a 3D wireframe object
So I did exactly what the help files says and I got exactly what it says I should EXCEPT it isn't a recognizable 3D solid that I can export.
Any ideas what is wrong? I bought this specifically so my kids could create STL objects for their 3D printer. If it can't do that then it is useless to me.
Thanks
Jeff
