Convert to Mesh

The Convert to Mesh command converts any extrude, multiple extrude, sweep, or wireframe object into a mesh object. Use the 2D and 3D selection tools or the Object Info palette to edit the mesh object vertice(s). The command can also collect a number of separate 3D polygons into a single mesh object.

To convert to mesh:

1.	Select the 3D object to convert.

2.	Select Modify > Convert > Convert to Mesh.

The object changes to a mesh object. Once the 3D object has been converted into a mesh, each vertex has its own handle and can then be moved individually.
