How to fill a void within a solid

[smandel]

I have a thin plastic bowl shaped part that I merged with a flat plate to "top" the bowl. This creates a part with thin walls but a void in the middle. I would like to fill that void so that I have a completely solid part. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I would try selecting all the surfaces of the void using 'seed and bound' (set the Smart Filter to 'Geometry' and your view to wireframe or hidden line), then copy and paste to create a new quilt, then solidify the quilt.

For extra robustness, offset the pasted quilt outwards by a mm or so and solidify the offset instead...

Thank you so much Jonathan. That worked great.
