I used surfaces to try and create a solid but it will not sculpt...new to this feature...Can it be made into a solid the surfaces or is there another far better way to create?

Hi!

 

 

You are using bondary patch tool, but with slygtly different edges, and it will appear some gaps.

 

Do the bondary pathches again with more carefull. Also tansform the solid in surface by delecting 2 faces and then, stitch them all (i think it's easear then Sculp).

How do you start a new question in the new forum?  I do not see any area to click to get it started.  Sorry for barging in, but this new forum is very OCCULTIC meaning things are kept hidden from view.

 

THANKS
