For that method, it's usually best to actually make a cap surface first, which you do by using Trim. Then once you have a small surface piece that has the outline you need you can then use Extrude on that surface to build the solid, or you can use Shell too.

See this previous post for an example:

cool, more things to try on the way home tonight ;)

Hi Michael

Cool, that trim works, what I did has a test, I used Curve-project to project some letter onto shield, then extruded them, then hide them, then I used trim on the projected curve to cut out end cap, brought back the extruded letter, then fitted the end cap, joined them up, then joined them back to the shield. all back to a solid :)






cheers, steve
