Question
Bill,
Is there any way to convert a bunch of line segements that have been drawn from 3-D coordinates into a 3-D solid?
I'm using autocad 2005.
To do exactly as you say, no. There are ways to convert 2D polylines into 3D objects (EXTRUDE). There is no function or command that converts a "bunch of line segments" to a 3D solid model. On the other hand, you can use the line segments to create new 3D solids with commands like BOX, SPHERE, then SLICE, ADD, SUBTRACT (especially SLICE).
Keep in touch

Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.
Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.
Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
