  you may want to you aplly Fill command first to create a closed volume and use Enclose to make solid from a closed volume by selecting bouding faces

  Still can’t get enclose to work. Maybe I have built this shape wrong. When I look at the amount of surfaces bottom left in the surfaces tab it says I only have three. But the closed volume consists of 5. I think I have screwed up! Maybe I’ll start again ! 
  
  Any my tips would be great. Thanks to konstantin for the fill tool advice. Do you think I’m using the enclose tool wrong ?
  
  thanks

  don't know exactly what the problem is, but i think that extruding ramp projection up to face doesn't guarantee that closed volume will be created. check my approach
