: If your solid is already modeled but needs to be recognized as a sheet metal feature, use the Convert to Sheet Metal tool. Select the base face. Specify sheet thickness and bend radius. Select edges for the bends. Troubleshooting

: If a solid fails to form, your surfaces may have small gaps or "naked edges." Use the Check tool (under Evaluate) to find "Open surfaces" or "Invalid faces."

Check the option to convert the patched enclosure into a solid immediately.

To convert a surface or complex geometry into a in SOLIDWORKS (which appears to be the CAD software relevant to your file type), you can use several standard methods depending on your starting geometry. Common Methods to Create a Solid Body

Choose the direction (inside, outside, or mid-plane) and set the desired thickness.

: Useful for closing open gaps in imported geometry. Use the Filled Surface tool to patch any holes.

: Used when multiple surfaces enclose a volume. Go to the Surfaces tab and select Knit Surface . Select all the surfaces that form the closed volume.
