Re: Open Surface -- why?
If I understand you correctly.
The surface will always be open until you do something to close it, see image.
Hope this helps.

Re: Open Surface -- why?
You are misunderstanding what is meant by open surface. If you sketch a circle and make a planar surface, you will get the same open surface message. An open surface is any surface that doesn't enclose a volume. It doesn't mean that there is a problem with your surface.

Re: Open Surface -- why?
Ah, I see what you're getting at.
My original purpose for this surface is to use it to cut a solid, and I kept getting the dreaded "op failed due to geometric condition" message, so I then incorrectly assumed it was due to this.
Thanks for the clarification, I'll mark this one as answered and start a new discussion.

Re: Open Surface -- why?
Darren,.. Yes, it is a open surface. I jumped to a conclusion that the surface was not manageable (it's has singularity) , that is, in this case, "unchecking" the fill allows for this surface be be "untrimmed" and easier to manage (see attached).....
