Question combining surfaces & extrude

Hi,

i have been using the Polyline Tool along with the Vertex->Create Ordered Surface function to create 4 surfaces:

Left-View:


3D-View:


How can i combine theese 4 surfaces into one surface, and then extrude it along the X-Axis(3d-View) ?

I have tried selected the surfaces and using combine, which told me i should use cut-away first, which i did but that didnt change anything. and then i could only use cut-away object, which created an object from the surfaces, but still with vertexies, that are now unnessecary in place and the object also was not extrudable (threw error: "no external surface edges") ?

Please let me know,

Thanks.

Combine joins adjacent surfaces - no muse here.

You just need to remove the small circle surfaces here.

Well, the point is i do not want to remove them. I want them to become part of the shape, so i dont have to "draw them by hand" in just one polyline-drawing.

would be possible with this example, to draw the shape in one polyline, but there can be more complex scenarios, where i really need to combine/merge/whatever multiple surfaces into one surface.

is there a function to do that ?


Thanks.
