我们已经涵盖了使用自动表面工具与固体原始词相结合的自动表面工具来创建模型的技术。该方法适用于主要是自由形式但有一些关键领域的模型，需要表示为合适的CAD特征。但是逆呢？
If the model is predominantly prismatic in shape but has one or several key areas that are free form in shape, auto-surfacing is no longer an effective approach and other surfacing tools like Solidify will produce better results. The Solidify tool within地貌设计xallows us to intersect multiple surfaces and extract a solid body from the common internal space.
While most of this model is prismatic in shape and made from standard features like planar faces and cylinders, the side facing us poses a major challenge for traditional solid modeling techniques. It would be very difficult and time consuming to model with a traditional approach like lofted sketches, but the Mesh Fit tool in Design X makes it easy.
创建坚实的模型
我们首先将扫描数据与世界来源并运行自动段以将模型分解为不同的区域。然后，我们用标准的固体建模命令尽可能多地建模零件。尽可能长时间地将模型作为固体工作可能会导致更稳定的模型以后。标准的实体建模命令可以重现此部分上的所有功能，除了有问题的免费形式侧壁，因此我们暂时将该侧表示为简单的平面面。
Fitting the Free Form Surface
固体模型花了我们就可以,和now we'll need to use surfacing commands to reproduce the complex curvature on the sidewall. In this case, we'll use the Mesh Fit command, which can be accessed in the Model tab, or by simply right clicking on any of the colored regions.

Now we'll run the Accuracy Analyzer to confirm the accuracy is acceptable. The Accuracy Analyzer should be run before using the solidify tool so that we don't duplicate efforts in the event that it needs to be refitted.
精度分析仪表明网格拟合良好在规格之内。
现在，我们已经准备好自由形式的表面了，我们可以摆脱“模型”选项卡中使用删除脸部工具的占位符的平坦侧。删除面部将导致固体成为一组表面，这正是我们需要使用固化工具的。
固体模型在设计X中以灰色显示，但是一旦删除了脸部，该模型就变成了一系列表面，该表面由带有蓝色背面的黄色显示颜色指示。
The next step will be to extend the surfaces of the original solid body so that all surfaces intersect with the freeform mesh fit surface. Even small gaps will prevent the Solidify tool from working, so be sure to extend all surfaces, even the smallest fillets if present.

凝固
在正确相交的所有内容后，我们现在可以使用固化工具，在菜单>插入> surface>固化下找到。
固化工具位置。默认情况下，它不在功能区中，但是如果经常使用，则可以添加。
Next, it will prompt us to select the surfaces we wish to create a solid from. All the surfaces selected will be removed and replaced with a solid model extracted from the common internal volume.
完成的型号.
The free form surface is now present in the finished solid model. It is worth noting that Solidify is more than just a surface replacement tool and is useful for creating solid models from complex surfaces that would be difficult to model otherwise, like impeller vanes and propeller/fan blades.
