You can convert faceted data to solid in SpaceClaim. There are different ways to convert stl to solid.

The first one is using Right Click on the body in the structure tree and select Convert to solid option. This option is useful for planner surfaces and simple bodies. If your body has some fillets or curved surfaces, this option should not be used.

The other option is using Skin tool. You can find more information about Skin tool in help manual at following link.
