Hi
I have imported Adobe Illustrator logo into my scene and then I extrude it along axis. The problem is that my logo is now hollow. It doesn't have front and back side. How do I fix this?
Thanx,
Joseph

Try this tool. I did not try it my self, but I think it does what you want.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this program but it just chrases my XSI with the message Successfully saved before system failure. Restart the application to recover the scene.
In the instructions it says to put the dll file into plugins directory under a workgroup. I couldn't find it so I put it under C:\Softimage\XSI_6.5\Application\Plugins
Any other way of crating front and back surfaces?
Thnx

Select your curve and do create - polymesh - curve to mesh, you sould get a geometry. Then you could merge your meshes together. I think i should work .

I have found the problem is that there are multiple illustrator curves on top of each other and you just can't notice. I have found that I have to manual "push" points around so I can extract only 1 curve, then all works well.

Thanks everyone!
@SebasProulx (http://community.softimage.com/member.php?u=1629) your method works. I import Adobe Illustrator logo and then I go to Crete->Poly.Mesh->Curves to mesh and now my curve is closed. I even have Extrude tab there so I don't have to use Extrude along axis. Thanks!
One more question though. Is there any chance I could make the surface white and the edges black?
