Hi,

In my attached project I have 4 triangles that are open I can't seem to get them closed, I tried the Face command but corrupts the form and the body repair does not fix it. the four triangles can be clearly seen from the top view. any ideas that can help??

Hani,

See if this will do what you need.

Once complete use the stitch tool as needed,

 

EDIT: you don't have to be real precise where you stop the extend as trim will clean it up.

Worked like a charm, thank you, but the combine command is not working, when I launch it, none of the bodies are selectable neither as target nor as a tool, am I missing anything here?

Post was edited to "Stitch", combine was not the correct tool.

Actually have never used the Stitch but it appears to be what you want to use to make a solid.

My other CAD uses Merge and Union.

There are two surfaces for the belly, by design I don't know but may cause issues with creating a solid, or not, mentioned it just in case.

The stitch worked fine now I have one color body, I had to increase the tolerance to get rid of the red edges the did not stitch in the first attempt.

Thanks again,

The closed body went fine after stitching the nose and the tail sections to the middle section, now I have one solid body as seen in the attachment.
