Can someone tell me why I can't get surfaces to render in my drawings? SW 2006SP2

Although a drawing will show a surface in wireframe, SolidWorks can not render (shade) a part without "solid" geometry.

To work around this, you can simply create a feature(Insert/Boss,Base/Thicken) with the surface and specify a sliver thin .001" thickness, for example.

I was afraid of that.

You can in the drawing use the insert --> Model items and choose to import the surfaces.

See you all at SWW2006

I thought insert model items had an option to import surfaces & not just dimensions? or were you talking about shading the drawing view & the surfaces do not shade?

hope this points you in the right direction Steve T.
