Problem with the object's fill

Modeled lift car with the Morph tool, but when saved as object GSM plan view appears as "transparent or wireframe". I tried fix this in the settings file GSM 2D view, but for lack of knowledge in GDL failed. What can be done?

You can open the project and redraw the 2D symbol adding fills as necessary.

In the 2D Symbol window, fill is OK, but ...

... in the 2D View window shows the wireframe drawing. As I state a preference for the GSM file show 2D symbol and not a 2D view?

As far as I know the default should be the 2D Symbol View not the 2D View. Try saving the object from the 3D window instead or just watch this tutorial by shoegnome.

Judson:

If the object is using the 2D Script to generate the 2D view (take a look at the 2D Script and see if there is code there), then you can use the procedure outlined here to convert the scripted view to a drawn view for further editing:

Thanks David Maudlin and ejrolon for help. Could, explaining Shoegnome were targeted enforcement.
What I did: 1) I deleted the code window Script 2D / 2) 2D Symbol window we unified all fills equal / 3) And finally, trimmed some unnecessary lines
Not so hard. Again, thank you.
