Creating faces from lines?
-
I'm looking for a script (or an easier way with existing tools) to created faces by just selecting lines.
Here's a scenario. Say I bring in a 2d elevation, .DWG file. Is there a way to select all the lines at once and create faces in the areas enclosed by the lines? As opposed to tracing over lines to create all the faces. Please let me know if this is not clear and I will try to post some pictures.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael, there is a script called MakeFaces that does just what you want. It is on http://www.smustard.com
Also, I really like to run a script called label stray lines. It goes through your model and puts a little text tag on everyline that has an open end that does not meet another line. Often there will be faces that don't close like you think they should. It is very often because of a line that does not acutally meet up to another line. Label stray lines helps find those little gaps.
Hope that helps
Chris
