    Default trying to put a 3d face on top of this object...

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all,
    I currently use autocad lt 2008 with a 3d bolt-on called toolbox lt.
    I am self-taught so apologies if my methods may seem a bit unconventional to you guys.

    I am trying to show this object with a face on the top of it so when i show it using HIDE and in place you can't see the structure inside of the object.
    Normally I am ok with this, but because this polygon shape is awkward and involves arcs as well as straight lines i'm not sure how to go about it.
    If anyone could help i would be very grateful

    Thankyou in advance

    Sarah

    That group (with thickness) could be capped with a region created from a copy of the group. It should work for a Hide operation.
