Newbie Loft issue

Michael, at times I'll try trimming a solid with a curve and end up with a hole in my solid?? The trim op will seperate the surfaces as I want but deleting the unwanted piece left the surface unclosed.


What I typically do then is extrude the curve into a surface or solid and then subtract...

Actually now that I'm typing this, perhaps I should have tried a boolean operation with the curves instead of a trim?

I usually think trim with curves and boolean with solids - I have to give this a try...

PS - DUHoid! That was it - boolean instead of trim! Boy knowing this would have saved me some time the other nite! :-P
