Is there any way to export an object from Viz/Max into Acad and have that object come in as a "solid" instead of a surface?

My question is because I have created a complex spiraling canopy that we now want to detail in Acad. Using the "solprof" command you can easily generate an elevation of objects that are solids but it doesn't work on surfaces. And I know of no way to convert a surface model into a solid model.

I tried to make an STL file from Viz, but Acad only seems to export, not import that file type.

Any other ideas on how to do this? Is there a third party program?

Or is there a better way to generate construction documents from a Viz file?

Thanks for your help.

This way maybe works
export the file as 3ds or dwg, open it skecthup...I think SU can clean up all the extra lines, coplanar surfaces, etc and in SU you could export the views in autocad directly in 2d for construction documents.

I've used SU for CD....it works pretty well!!
