How does a high resolution solid mesh work?

A high-resolution mesh of a low-resolution solid makes it clear that the underlying surface is essentially a smoothed-blocky version of the input object. The smoothing is done by a linear filter. A significant benefit of the Accurate Solid Type is that we can compute offset surfaces of the signed distance field that we have computed.

What can you do with the make solid tool?

The most obvious use of Make Solid is that you can throw in any set of overlapping shells, and get out a single non-self-intersecting mesh suitable for 3D printing. There are other uses, as described below.
