How to make a solid sphere?

nick_gholaminick_gholami Member Posts: 7 EDU
Hi,

I have been trying to make a solid sphere but without luck.

What I have done so far, is make a sketch of a semi-sphere and the evolve it. I do end up with a perfect sphere, but it is hallow.

Any ideas on how to make the sphere solid?

    Hello Nick. I suspect you may have surface rather than solid selected in the Revolve dialog box. - Scotty

    Make sure your sketch is enclosed (grey area which is selectable). If the sketch area is not grey, then it has a disconnected spot somewhere in its path, it must be completely connected at each vertex.

    In the Revolve feature, make sure you have selected Solid like Robert mentioned.
