I love the Limit Box tool in TBC, I so wish I had that in autocad.
So when I pull in 3d faces from a dwg, to TBC, they show as wireframe.

I know I could pull in surfaces from my cad tools using landxml, but much of the time I have faces that are portions of surfaces.
I'm deciding what to do in terms of cleaning up parts of surfaces so don't just have finished surfaces much of the time.
Also, certain people on our teams use software that wants 3d faces, so we want to be able to view those in TBC, and use limit box to section on screen.

Anyway, is there some way to turn on shading of 3d faces in 3d view?
thx

Bulk convert to linestrings
Select all the linestrings.
Bulk change properties to "auto-close"
Bulk change properties to "draw filled"
