Probably Simple but I can't get any help in the manuals on this one… I have Eric Petersons Starfleet Text DXF's and I can't get them to become a single object, they are DXF's and will not load into the 3D Editor no matter what I do. When loaded into the 2D Editor nearly all the parts of the Text are single objects, so the lofter and the editor won't take the text as the objects arn't closed, I have treid alt/mod'/selected and move polygon/selested but this does not seem to connect the vertices in the 2D Shaper, there are 20 letter I'm using and to join them all by hand would mean joining about 700 + Objects… Is there an easy way of doing this, or do I have a parameter set wrong somewhere in the 3Ds Set file?

Greg Try this -go into the 2D Shaper and select/all, modify/vertex/weld and you will have all of your polygons closed ready for the lofter. -Mike
