Which command converts an existing face or surface into a solid by adding thickness?

Answer: Thicken/Offset

Thicken/Offset adds thickness to selected faces or surfaces, creating a solid or offset surface.

What does the Sculpt command do in Inventor?

Answer: Adds or removes solid material using surfaces that bound a region

Which command creates a planar or nonplanar surface from a closed boundary loop of edges or curves?

Answer: Boundary Patch

Boundary Patch fills a closed loop of edges or sketch curves with a surface.

After creating several surfaces that form a fully closed volume, which command can join them and produce a solid?

Answer: Stitch
