There's a couple of ways to tackle it.

If you have multiple parts, you can merge the objects, then use the Vertex > Create Ordered Surface tool to build the faces to join the parts together.

Also, a lot of people use a technique called "box modelling". You start with a box, and keep extruding surfaces until it looks like what you want.

As for not have "surface>create mesh"... do you mean the command is missing? That, I don't know. What version of AC3D are you using?
