Why isn't this sketch closed
Hi,
Sorry for asking so many questions.
When I try and loft my fuselage I get told one of my sketches isn't closed but as far as I'm aware it is.
The dot in the middle is the centre of the ellipse.
EDIT: I tried doing it in half as was suggested but that seems to have not helped, unless I didn't understand
Accepted answer
After ages of adding and removing things, I found the points I added for the sake of making guide lines easier actually stopped the sketches being closed for some reason. I also changed the coupling to "ratio".

There could be many reasons why the sketch isn't closed. Could be a small gap that you don't see. Or maybe some overlapping lines from a sloppy trim.
Open the sketch and use the Tools + Sketch Analysis to get some help.
- Look for little blue circles which indicate the ends of open profiles. Sometimes the Close Profile tool at the bottom will close the open profiles automatically.
- Look for extra Points or extra Lines/Curves. Use the Isolate tool on the bottom to make them construction.
- There also might be double lines (line on top of another line), like I have in my example below with Line.2 and Line.5. Use the Delete tool to get rid of one.
