i’ve this shape. how can i surface the inside part without using cv or point surfaces? if i create a shape and close it, then i can use extrude, and it caps both ends. this shape is also closed, but extrude doesn’t cap the ends…

**edit: i figured it out by myself. i first did lathe, and then cap holes, it worked. BUT, is that the right way? thanks.**
