      Thanks Pilou
      the diagonal trick closed them but like you say they appear to be NOT coplanar
      tried add faces but nothing happened.
      I dont know why it appears unclosed from an internal view BUT closed from external
      Still at an impass......
      Oh now my lines appear RED did you change something?

      Anyone please
      Richard

      Hi
      This has been doing my head in
      I have these small holes in my model but whatever i seem to do i cant fill-get rid of ....
      i am trying to curve this item but it picks up the holes and amplifies them in the finished Bent object.
      Ive tried weld etc but my brain doesn't function like most of you guys and they just keep appearing. the model is small and have tried enlarging and fixing but same response. A
      could someone explain HOW and B
      could someone PLEASE fix this model
      thanks to all
      Richard

      Hi Make unique is not available. also comment "use a FENCE"....
      I am an absolute newbie at this and i dont think you re understanding what i need. The SKP is made of 2 halves 1 is a male form and 1 is a female form. at the moment they are supposed to be together with just a .3mm gap between them. This keeps them separate. Somewhere i have made a mistake and they became joined which to me means they MUST have a connecting point somewhere.
      This i cannot find. The two parts are to be machined complete with the curve that i cant get to work so that they fit tight together when finished.I cant separate so i cant edit!!!!
      its doing my head in.
