Creating an Autocad Solid 3D from a list of vertices

Question

So I've looked all over Auto Cad's documentation, and it seems the most common ways to generate a Solid3d, is to extrude a region.

But suppose I actually have a list of points, or a list of faces. Does Auto Cad have methods for creating a Solid3d from the points?

Solid means manifold surface. What you are asking about is a *mesh*. Which *can* be, potentially, constructed from the set of points and/or vertices. Or from the set of point you can get a plane and surface on that plane (may be even projection that most likely will introduce some kind of distortion) and extrude that surface. — Tigran, Aug 10 '15 at 21:14

AutoCAD has a command SURFSCULPT to do this (from a set of surfaces that enclose a watertight area). The corresponding API is Solid3d.CreateSculptedSolid. I don't think you can do something with points.
