How to close a complex shape

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I need to close a complex shape (see attached jpg).
What would be the best and fastest way to do it?
I tried "CAP", but probably because of the complexity of the shape, it doesn't work well.

Thanks

Even if you were able to "Cap" this (& I don't think that's possible) you would still have to go & connect across the caped portion to give it its shape. What exactly is this object?

The object is a continent of Earth (Europe - In the attached jpg, you see the shape backward).
I made all the continent that go around, and now I need to close all the shapes.
I need to create a Earth globe,

If it's going against a globe, there's no need to cap it. If you are never going to see the back of it, leave it and save yourself the extra polygons you would have created.

+1 unless they are going to form the globe by themselves or they're going to have a transparent globe.


what i would try to do in your case.. would be to actually delete the border , forget about cap, and use Shell modifier.

UNLESS you are indeed going to use an opaque sphere\globe behind them, in which case as MadViolinist said there is no point in capping them.

Agreed. Remove the edges and use Shell.
