Visio Join Command

[eggman]

I am trying to use the Join command to join a series of FreeForm shapes into
one closed shape and then use the Fill command to fill it. However, the Join
does not appear to close the shape and Fill does not work.

Any ideas?

More than likely, Join is creating seperate Geometry sections. The only way
Fill can be used is if it each Geometry Section is a closed loop.

Thanks for the quick reply. In the end, I was able to get the Fill to work;
however, I think the problem may have been due to some small loops in the
shape. After adjusting some of the nodes in the shape, I was able to get the
Fill to work.
