How Can You Make This A Solid?

I am trying to make this into a solid as it has missing faces from past work. You can see the red sections should be enclosed as well as the long orange section is open as well.

I tried using the Stitch Tool but nothing happened.

Please attach the file, and also tell us which version of Inventor you're using.

Why does it have missing faces?

Has someone who doesn't understand the Delete Face command had access to the file?

 

Can you add Boundary Patch and Stitch?

Hi! It looks like the side faces are missing. Stitch as is won't help because there is a big gap and Stitch would not create the side faces out of blue. Like JD mentioned, you can create surfaces to cover the gap. There are a few choices. For this case, you can use Boundary Patch or Loft. Or, you can use Ruled Surface or simply create a sketch outline and extrude as surface. Then stitch them together.

Many thanks!
