Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to create a solid from a top and bottom surfaces. In this workspace I am creating 2 circles and assign a z value to each one of them. I would like to join the two shapes to create a 3D shape.

 

Thanks.

Hi @gisinnovationsb, this is not a generic way but works for your example.

Note that the conditions for applying this method are:

  • The bottom polygon has to be a convex hull.
  • The top polygon has to be completely contained by the bottom polygon in 2D.

[Correction] The top polygon also has to be a convex hull.

Thanks @takashi for the tip, this opens a new set of ideas !
