I have created an object and deleted several vertices making more than one object now there are no side faces in the objects created an I whondered if there was an easy way to make the object appear solid. I am not sure of the easiest way of doing this without creating a flat object and gluing it just looking for an easy way out. The solution would be most desirable for truespace but 3ds max solution would help also as I have trial version

sometimes cap object doesnt create the desired results as the modifier cant understand what the model is so it guesses, to do this by hand in 3ds, select your groups and make them editable meshes, then right click and create polygons, in the 3d viewport you will see the vertexes on your selected objects and you can click 3 in sequence to make polys, once youve finished making a face or a poly, then just double click the last vertex and it will make them, if you clicked them in the wrong order then right click edit faces, then on the right list of edit poly features find the 'flip' on the normals tab that should make the selected faces inside out.

thanks dark coder that may come in handy but for my example cap objects worked fine. I am trying a simon says model the one with the red ,green ,yellow and blue buttons. I have been trying to make the buttons. They are a modification of the base just rescaled and with bits edited out. The 4 buttons started off as one so they had no faces now it works.
