CraigC Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hmmm...somehow these (see the one highlighted) came out without their faces. Can this be corrected or do I need to delete and recreate them? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 These look like you drew the profile and then extruded a few inches. And had the Fill set to None. If that is true, then just edit the extrusion and make sure the profile has a Fill. Quote Link to comment
CraigC Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I couldn't figure out how to "make sure the profile has a fill", so I deleted and recreated them. Thx. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 If they were extrudes, you select the object, right click and choose Edit (or double click to enter Edit mode). Select the profile object and look in the Attributes Palette to see if it has a fill of None. If it does, change the fill in the Attributes Palette. 1 Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Another possibility... and not uncommon (for me!) was to draw the initial polygon and extrude without checking the OIP to verify if it is "closed". I now always double check. 1 Quote Link to comment

If that is true, then just edit the extrusion and make sure the profile has a Fill. Other thing I'd have done in this circumstance is to draw one object, make it a symbol. Then, when I find an issue such as missing object fill, I can edit the symbol and all the rest of the symbols on the drawing are updated at once. 1 Quote Link to comment

Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted April 30, 2019 Marionette Maven Share Posted April 30, 2019 OIP stands for Object Info Palette. (fun tip - if an acronym is used regularly here and has a dotted line beneath it, hovering over it with your cursor will display what it stands for.) 1 Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) And I of all people who has frequently railed to friends against the alphabetization of the English language! 😱 OIP = Object Information Palette. Click on the polygon and check and see if the small box next to "Closed" is check for not. If it isn't you can simply check the box manually and it will close the polygon for you.

I clicked on it instead which showed nothing. Quote Link to comment
