How to turn (poly) lines into a surface?

virgin_mechanic · 21st April 2020, 02:39 PM

Hi all,

I have a question.
I am trying to replicate a 3d model of a car eblem
So I drew a square piece and textured it with the eblem.
When I trace out the outer lines of the eblem, how can I fill them in to be a 2d surface? I can't seem to get a shape instead of lines. Neither can I get a polygon to work...

So I just want to trace something from a picture and make it a 2d surface, so that I can manipulate it into a 3d logo/eblem

Thx!

Bottom left on the control panel, Surface-type->Poly will switch a line surface into a poly.
