Is there a plugin that closes faces on curves?
-
I had a curve explode and re-welded it. Unfortunately the faces were deleted, and filling each individual face for each matching edge segment and the smoothing the edges is very tedious.
Is there a plugin that will fill these faces? Just letting my laziness get the better of me.

Sure, look for curvestitcher. That should work for you.

Works!!
Almost...
It's stitching starting from opposite ends of the curve resulting in an hourglass type shape. Odd, considering that they are exactly the same curve, they are copy/pasted.
Thanks though! I'll play with it and see what happens.

How did you weld your curves?
If you used "WELD" ruby, after each welding process it should've asked you if you want to close the curve and fill its face. -
If they the same amoutn of segments you can use my loeft tool and enter 1 segment. That should do a simple connection between them. But the curves must have the same amount of segments.

Seems you have "Cap holes" who fill holes
I have it on my right click but not remember the name of the initial Plug

Got it sorted out.
I tried "Loft" but for some reason it wouldn't work on the curves (they were welded), that's why I started looking for the "Curvestitcher" type plugin. I tried welding them and grouping them separately so that there was no interfering geometry, but "loft" didn't work again. Odd, I usually can figure out what I did wrong.
To get them to stitch properly I had to select each edge for the curve to be stitched in the same order, i.e. bottom to top, and then weld them. This got the stitcher plugin to do what I needed.
