Hi everyone!So I started making a baseboard(the border between a floor and a wall) using the line tool and I'm not sure how to fill the hole in the center.Any help is appreciated!

Hi. Don't create your shape like you would a wine glass profile the way 3ds Max tutorials shows. That type of profile works better with models with revolutions when used with Lathe modifier. Instead, create a single shape that is closed. (see attached) It looks like you created two separate shapes. If you close the spline, the center will be automatically closed. You can then use Sweep or Extrude modifier.
To close your existing splines: You can attach the two splines and weld the vertices to close the spline.
When you have an open section, click-and-drag the two open ends in Sub-object Vertex using Connect, or select and "Close" in Sub-object Spline mode.
To close the spline during creation: While you're creating your shape and you want to close, click the first shape again to close the spline. You will be prompted with a dialog.
Hi. That's an interesting method, but in this case, you're making your task harder by using the spline's Render group. Instead, after you've created your shape, make sure "Enable in Render" and "Enable in Viewport" are turned off. You can then apply "Extrude" modifier, enter the value of extrusion, and check "Cap End" and "Cap Start."
Sweep modifier is another option that you can use with your profile shape. However, you will need another spline object that indicates the direction of the extrusion. It works similarly to Loft objects. Create a line object that basically follows the direction of the extrusion and apply the Sweep modifier. Then you can pick your custom shape that you created.
