MeshToSolid
If many meshes are selected at once and some of them are not closed, then the program will try to combine these meshes into one and convert them into a solid.
You can select and transform multiple meshes at once. In this case, unsuccessful meshes (failed to make solid) will be colored red.
The number of received solids is displayed on the command line.
Meshes with more than 10,000 faces are not processed as this can obscure AutoCAD.
Optimization of the number of solid faces in this program is default disabled. Therefore, rectangular faces will consist of multiple triangles. But it is dangerous to enable optimization - the conversion does not work and fatal errors occur.

Additional Information
There are two more commands for configuring mesh transformations. However, changing these settings can cause problems. Change at your own risk.
- MeshToSolidOptimize - enable solid optimization. Mesh triangles will be glued into one flat face. But the conversion might not work at all.
- MeshToSolidMaxFaces - increase the limit on the number of mesh surfaces. The default is 10000. A large change can cause brakes and fatal errors.
