I'm trying to draw up a guitar body. Starting with the profile curve, I can extrude the curve to the thickness I want, but Rhino is unable to cap the top and back. Any suggestions?  |

| the curve probably isn't 'flat'. select it and use 'projecttocplane' in the top view. Then move it back to the height necessary (it will move it to Z zero). Then extrude and cap.

| Thanks for that. After projecting to cplane, it still extrudes fine, but refuses to cap. I tried converting the curve to a polyline. No luck. The curve is made up of a spline joined to two nurbs elements which appears to be the problem. I replaced the nurbs elements with a line and a curve and now it's working. |

| More than likely then, the curve probably is not closed. You'll need to find where the gap is, and fix (close) it. Then extrude - cap.
