Hello everyone.
I have the following problem. I am using the LOFT command to generate the fan propeller. But the surface is becoming transparent.
How do I solve this problem?
Thank you!

All surfaces are "Translucent" by default. You can change this by un-ticking "Translucent" next to the feature. The surface will then be shown in bright orange.

Hi,
Try using the thicken command.

you have created a weightless, volumless surface, not a solid body.

Cheers!
