Default Anyone good at Solidworks?

I have an .IGS file that is giving me trouble, and it's beyond my ability to fix it.

It has gaps in it I can't correct, and I'm getting frustrated.

Thanks

No, that's the problem, only the IGS file, and I want to create a solid model with it.

I just can't make it one entity as it sits. I'll send you the igs if you want to take a look

Thanks

As I look into it I cant find a real comparison between vectorworks and solidworks, most comparisons I find are from like 2005.

Yep, I'm good now. It's a proper solid. So on to the next steps.

Thanks for the help boys.
