Solids only by extrusion/lathe? (by Oliver)
Just out of curiosity:

Can I get a solid only by extrusion (or lathe) a coplanar face?

IOW I can't make a tetraeder etc.?

You can (by Nithin)
To create ANY solid, one needs only one entity, Points.

the attachment tetrahedron.slvs seems to be constructed as the difference of extruded coplanar faces.

My question was whether I can put just six line segments between four points to get a solid.

This is definition how make polygonal mesh model.

Think, for such things you must use polygon editor. Blender is best free&open-source polygon editor! (use both SolveSpace & Blender)
