Is there anyway in which i can create a sheet body from selecting a series of curves? I'm creating quite a complex shape and want to build the outline with splines,then somehow create sheet bodies to give me my final shape.

Any ideas appreciated.
 
Depending on how your construction curves are located, you mght use "Swept" to create your sheet.

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.
 
Swept is a great suggestion, it is probably the free form operation that I use most often. Also check out 'through curve mesh' in the help files.
 
A combination of the two has given me EXACTLY what i'm after. Many thanks to both of you.
