    Default make a surface into a 3d solid

    Does anyone know if civil 3d has a way to convert a tin surface to a 3d solid object?
    Ultimately I want to be able to make an stl file from a surface that was created using contours, 3d faces or points. If civ3d is unable to do this are there any other apps or LSP's that might work?
    I've already tried F2S (face to solid), convtosolid, convertto3dsolids and a few combinations of exploding, unioning and convtosolid with extrusions.

    any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I spent a little bit of time on this once myself with little success. It was a very large surface that I was working with and in the end I didn't see the point, because this guy was trying to convert it to use in some custom program.
