I've been away from F•Z for several months and for the life of me I can't remember how to get a solid object or extrusion from an outline. This is generated as a continuos line composed of vector lines and spline through points tools.

I've tried using the derive tools as well and no luck.

Thanks, and sorry for the rookie question...

Hi Charles,

 

Most likely your source shape is an open line.  Use the Close Line tool to close it (and then it should display as a Shaded Surface).  

 

Once you have done that, you should be able to extrude it to a 3d solid.

 

Does that help?

The close line tool brings up a "no-go" symbol (line with slash through it). I ended up re-drawing the shape and was able to extrude it. I had done that several times before, but for some reason it didn't work until now.

Not sure how my last attempt differed, but I must have missed the last click previously, thus not creating a surface.

Thanks.
