fill 3d objects

[GC]

I have a 3d rectangle that won't fill, has the dotted lines in background to
represent it being 3d with the foreground lines solid. I have tried
ungrouping and joining lines. Still won't fill. Tried changing the dotted
lines to solid and working with just one face of the rectangle. Still
nothing. Any ideas?

A little more info. I am now able to join any four lines of one side of the
3d triangle and can fill that one square. When I go to split those lines so
I can join 4 more from another side of the triangle, it unfills what I just
did.

In general I can't say if there is a better way to do what you are
trying to do as I am still on FH9, but to do what you are trying to do...

That's because there is a shared line that cannot be used for two
separate closed paths. You will have to clone any shared lines first
then join each shape with one of the clones.
