Hollow profile

Tom Krowka

I've got a roof member that I made with profiler. It is one solid polyline, but only the edges are solid. The whole interior is hollow, and you can see through it.

What am I doing wrong?

I select the object, which is one PL. Then I go to profiler, select the point to start, then give it the width value, which is actually the path of the profile. AC makes the profile, I can save, but it comes out hollow.

I am creating in the plan view.


I used curves, straight lines, which I unified into a polyline. Could this be the prob. Do I have to trace over the outline with a "virgin" polyline?

Replace polyline with fills

Or you can just close off the polygon of your profile.

Cheers.
