Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape.  Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in automatic tetra and solid meshing.

The surfaces defining a solid can belong to multiple component collectors.  The display of a solid and its bounding surfaces are controlled only by the component collector to which the solid belongs.

The following panels can be used to create and edit solids:
