2d dwg contours and/or 3ds model to mesh?

Anonymous
Not applicable
If I have a 2d dwg file of extensive contours but with no z-value, what is the best wat to get this to a mesh to make a 3d site model? I have one already made as a .gsm but its just a shell so I cant use SEOs on it...would there be an easier way to convert the shell to a mesh solid?

Thanks!!

Maybe Model solid added to the 3D script would work?

The MASS command needs the j1 and j2 mask values
set to 1 and 4 to make the MASS command a solid.
