Enclosed space into a shape?

mihir_kumar130

I have made this enclosed space using four different sketch planes, and need to know how to make that shape so I can use the enclose to fill in the gap.

Its important to note that the longer edges aren't linear; they're curved inwards a little.

Thanks!

Look at the Fill and Enclose tools. They should do what you want. You can find a lot of documentation for features under the Help menu:

It will likely work like this:
1. Make sketches
2. Use the Fill to turn a set of contiguous edges in to a surface.
3. Select the set of surfaces that fully enclose a volume (we use the word "watertight" to describe such a volume) and combine them using the Enclose tool to form a solid.

More broadly speaking: When you start patching together solids from collections of planar faces, there's probably a better way. Consider how you might achieve the desired geometric shapes as a sequence of planar extrusions and cuts. You might be better served rethinking your approach than forging ahead with the Fill+Enclose patch job, which is generally a more brittle and error-prone way to model.
