Hi,

why this can't be solid but just a joined surface?

Thanks

Hi Pwd, you can find out what spots are open on an object by setting up the "Select naked edges" script on a shortcut key as described here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6051.2

Or also on v4 you can go to the "Details..." object properties dialog and push the label showing "4 naked edges".

If you run on that on your object it will highlight these edges here:


If I zoom in there I can see that there is more than one edge in those areas, with a gap between them:


This can be fixed by deleting the current bottom face, then selecting the remaining Joined surface and running Construct > Planar to cap off the bottom. You should then have a solid after doing those steps.

Ah, ok Michael!
Thanks.

To use that command (planar), I've selected the base edge loop (by the way, is there a way to select a loop without select all edges one by one?) and then launch the command... I did'nt undestand that you can use it as "cap planar holes" in a solid!
It's a bi-functional command: it closes the planar holes and it creates planar surfaces from edges! Good.

Thanks a lot
Marco

You have the loop selection
Make a shortcut with this
script:/*Loop selection*/moi.geometryDatabase.selectLoop();

Select 2 edges then call the Shortcut

It works great!
Thanks a lot!!
