How to make this solid?

Hi koi, so for the bottom not being flat that's partly because your profile curve does not have an ending tangent that points straight downwards, it's angled like this:


So therefore the surface normal that a surface offset will go along will be like this:




I'm surprised that shell actually worked here because the surface you've generated is very strained and badly formed in the area where it collapses down to a point:




I'm not sure what your goal is for this protruding feature as it traverses towards the tip:



But you probably can't get a well formed result by just having that protruding feature directly collapse down to a point all on its own. You'll probably need some additional stations set up so that there isn't a complex shape with near undercuts in it as it collapses down. Something like this using Construct > Network (see attached 3dm) :





And it may be better to directly model the inner surface with its own set of curves rather than generating it with a surface offset.
