How to replace solid face with surface face?

Stephen Nyberg
in Design & CAD
0 0 Intermediate

I would have started my model a little differently but with what you have here is how I would achieve what you are looking for. Here is a link to video of me doing it. http://youtu.be/_QlfGXh7ghU These commands are not on the standard feature ribbon by default and you can add them if you use them a lot, or do like I did and just use the command finder search bar.
