If you need to (e.g. for rendering) convert 2D objects of the type SOLID to 3D faces, use an intermediate conversion to REGION or a conversion to Surfaces.
The REGION command can convert Solids to Regions - then you can explode them or use them for modeling.
But you can also directly use the CONVTOSURFACE command and get the entity of the type Surface (PLANESURFACE). You can render it directly or use the THICKEN command to assign it a minimal thickness making it a 3D Solid body (3DSOLID).
To directly convert 2D Solids to 3D Faces or PFaces you can use the Xanadu Sol2Face utility - see www.xanadu.cz/download.
