How do I convert STL graphics to a solid model?

Great aid. Thank You!

Thanks. It works but I don't know why it changes all curves to many straight lines. do you have any idea?

Thank You. It is simple.

thanks a lot. It helped me

It was helpful , thank you

WOW THAT WAS EASY I BEEN TRYING TO CHANGE STL FILE FOR A LONG TIME THANK YOU

hi, thank you first, I followed the steps and an error came 'model exceeds dimensional limits'. Can you please guide to correct it? and that pop-up box won't close...!

Thank You!!!

@Pedram you get straight lines because an SLT is actually made up of millions of small straight lines which make facets. It is not a true 'CAD' format. It is more of a graphics sort of file type. (which just happens to be common for 3D printer slicing software programs to use.)

This was super helpful!!!

Is there a way I can import a mesh file(.stl) into Solidworks which has 1.8 million faces?

Thank you veeery much, you solve my problem.

@Tim Ganstrom is there a way to get rid of the lines? Cheers.

What do I do if Solidworks(2013 version) doesn't let me change to solid body? It only accepts graphic body. Thanks in advance!

Great. So simple. Thank you it worked out for me.
