TIN Surface to Solid for AutoCAD

Hello,

 

I have created using TIN Generator a TIN Surface. The output geometry originally is IFME Mesh. I want to create a solid for AutoCAD Civil 3D.

 

I have tried everything I can think of (incl. setting Geometry Coercer to brep solid) but the result is this:

It still appears as a polyface mesh in AutoCAD and in FME the outer surface remains a mesh.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you.

 

George

Make sure you use the RealDWG writer. The ACAD writer does not supporting writing out solids to AutoCAD (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/21601/autocad-dwg-which-format-should-i-use.html).

 

If you want to avoid the mesh geometry, you can try Coercing the mesh first into a CompositeSurface and then into a Brep solid.
