How to transform a surface into a solid object?

Hey everyone! I have following problem:

I have three connecting surfaces which i want to join and to transform into a solid object.

My first problem is that the surfaces don't let them join together. The surfaces are curves which got lofted or patched. I think its because the surfaces are not tight enough connected to the original curves. Which settings should i use?

And how can i transform my surface object into a solid object?

I would really appreciate any help! thanks!

Converting a set of loose surfaces into a solid requires the Join Brep component. However it will only work if the edges of the surfaces you're joining are within tolerance of each other.

It's difficult to say exactly what the best approach would be, as you only posted images of your data rather than the actual data. Perhaps the connecting surface can be made using a more exact method, but that is just conjecture at this stage. Please upload the actual data.

If you don't care about the accuracy, you can loft patch surface edges rather than curves.

Hey, thank you for your fast response!

I added now the .3dm file with the points, and the .gh file.
