      I finally was able to, with the erudite forum members' help, make my surface into a solid.
      NEW PROBLEM: I am trying to "attach" one face of one solid to a face on the other. Will the whole thing become a solid if I take both of the latter groups and make them a single group?

        It's not the function Group that make a solid! ๐Ÿค“
        t's the function Combine!
        If 2 volume are solids, Boolean Union will be normally a solid! ๐Ÿ˜‰
        (better if there is intersection between solids! Because faces strictly // is maybe not so easy in certain cases! )

        You can use Solid Solver by Tig, Solid Inpector by Thomthom if there are some problems!

          Like Pilou says, you'll want to use the "Outer Shell" function. Here's a video:
