        A couple of older ones, maybe not as versatile: Extrude lines, Curve Stitcher, Skin. Just to provide information. πŸ˜„

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          What I'd like to be able to do is select all the lines at once and, if possible, have the faces created as a group independent of the lines. I've tried Skin and ExtrudeByVector and can't get them to do what I want.

          Thanks.

            The tools used on imported 2d graphics, I believe, are Make Faces and Close Opens? Find them at Smustard and/or Ruby Library Depot. These still may not be what you want considering the vertical orientation of your subject. Just trying to help.

              Mitcorb, thanks for the suggestions. I found MakeFaces and CloseOpens and they would probably work...but I was trying to avoid spending $20 for CloseOpens.

                Curviloft by Fredo 6 seems perfect for that! πŸ˜‰
                Select all lines then Call the plug πŸ˜‰
                Re-order if necessary (you never find a plug who makes a magic order selection from a randomly number of lines in any positions as many ways are possible) πŸ˜’
                Apply regulates

                For face as group you must use some Special Selection Selection Toy by Thomthom
                Then call Face(s) to group(s) by Bentleyfrog
                Not a big deal πŸ˜„

                  Pilou, Thanks, which method of Curviloft do I use? I tried Loft by Spline, but it locks up the model. Do I use Skin Contours? Thanks again.

                    Use the first icon in the toolbar (on a phone and can't remember what it's called πŸ˜„ )

                    Set the segments to 1
                    Done

                    (edit. Just saw pilou's image. Do that)

                            Thanks everyone. I got Loft by Spline to work. That's exactly what I needed. I appreciate all the help. πŸ‘
