Paul,
Can you give us more details? With surfacing it dikicult to give a generic answer. Do you have advanced surfacing capability?

I can try to give more details.
lets first simplify the situation.

It is about a circle which must be closed by extending both sides. But after extending to a mid plane there is still a very same gap in the midle. To small to see but pro/engineer has problems with is it must be used for solidify.

I don't have advanced surfaching capability.

Paul,
Sorry for my ignorance, but still not clear what you wabt to do. Can you link an image or the model?

Here some images off the product i'm working.
The red line in the first images, is the place where the gap is.

Paul,

You have two solutions:

1. Create 3 datum planes and a coordinate system.
2. Redefine the feature and choose Heal Geometry -> Manual -> Zip Gaps.

2. If Pro cannot do it, then you must construct the missing surface and do a merge with the existing one. Sometimes is ieasier to delete some surfaces and made new ones.
