Many of my models are created from AutoCAD drawings run through Illustrator to create shape profiles and imported into Carrara for spline extrusion. In C1 I finally figured out that to make filled extrusions I needed to import shapes already turned into compound shapes in Illustrator. In C2 nothing I try will form a filled extrusion from these shapes. I have tried importing as compound shapes, compounding the shape after import into C2 and changing the fill shape check box in the extrusion settings box. Nothing seems to work! A long winded question but any ideas would be appreciated.
