Draw Solid

This command draws a solid model as 3D Faces. The Tag Solid Name To Entities adds XData to the 3D faces with the name of the solid model file that is used by the ID Solid command. To view the solid entities in 3D, use commands like View > 3D Viewer Window.

The Surface Object is a custom object for displaying the solid in the drawing. This custom object also supports the EndPoint snap. The main advantage of the Surface Object is with displaying large solids because the Surface Object is more efficient than drawing individual 3D Faces. The Surface Object requires Carlson to be loaded to display.
