Post by Leif // May 7, 2007, 2:41pm Leif Total Posts: 276 Well, you might have constructed it so that the gap shows... The gap theory... hmm but that is another topic entirely and is very much off topic.. You could perhaps provide a description of what you did ? That would be very helpful for others that wants to help:) Post by Burnart // May 7, 2007, 3:10pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 You can repair it if that is what you want to know. Object edit - delete the faces opposite each other in the gap then use the add edge tool to connect individual points across the gap. Can create artifacts if you don't do it right. Was it some kind of extrude process you used? Post by rjeff // May 7, 2007, 3:57pm rjeff Total Posts: 1260 gap theory eh? I don't buy into that one myself..but as you say..that is a different topic....anywho... I made a 3d out of a 2d poly line, then extruded it, then did a macro swept along a that "test" path to see if I could achieve my desired effect. I am close except for that gap. Post by Burnart // May 7, 2007, 4:14pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 I'm not real familiar with extruding along paths - is there a "close shape" or similarly worded option available via a rmb click on some relevant icon? Post by spacekdet // May 7, 2007, 5:23pm spacekdet Total Posts: 1360 Use a second curve to loft your 2D profile (instead of a path to macrosweep). Curves can be closed, (thus eliminating the gap) but paths are open.

Check it out here. (http://www.spacekdet.com/tutorials/loft2/) Hope that's helpful, comments and questions welcome.

Post by rjeff // May 11, 2007, 5:05am rjeff Total Posts: 1260 thanks for the tutorial...I will apply this later when I get a minuet from my "real" job!
