Using MicroStation's SmartSolids and SmartSurfaces tools you can quickly construct complex 3D models of your designs. For example, starting with basic solids or surfaces, you then can:
Add finishing touches, such as fillets and chamfers.
Use a planar closed shape, or open element, as a profile to create a cut out in either a surface or a solid.
Use the Shell Solid tool to quickly create a “hollow” solid with defined wall thickness.
By default, many of the tools in the 3D Construct and 3D Modify tool boxes create SmartSolids or SmartSurfaces from existing elements in your models. Additionally, you can convert existing solid and surface elements in your model to SmartSolids and SmartSurfaces, respectively, using the Convert To SmartSolids/Surface tool, in the 3D Utility tool box, or by using the the key-in convert brep.
 | By default, the Convert to SmartSolids/Surface is not displayed in the 3D Utility tool box. You can display the tool by right-clicking in the tool box and selecting Convert To SmartSolid/Surface. |
