Be on point. Answer the question as precisely as possible.
Make it useful. The answer should work on its own, avoid links to other sites.
Use comments. If you need more details or want to give feedback, post a comment instead of a new answer.
As CadCloud pointed out, you have not provided enough information to visualize, let alone answer the question.
I'll take a guess though.
Use the Knit command to knit the ~200 surfaces into a single body. Further repairs will likely be needed as well before you can use the Thicken command to convert the surface body into a solid body.
To form a cavity via a boolean operation, there are a few tools.
Combine (with the subtract option) work well.
I often use Indent as it allows for some different options.
Intersect can sometimes be used, but I find it confusing.
Cut with Surface is an option in some cases.
Also, you might check what your import settings are for Step files. I think there is an option which tries to merge/thicken surfaces on import. Maybe that would solve the ~200 imported surfaces?
