Surface issues

I am trying to get this surface to be one surface. When I place a material on it shows as if there are separate surfaces, but I joined the curve before extruding it.

i think it a polysurface because of the lines you use to build it.
Can you share your file?

Here you go

I am far from an expert, but I dragged both of these materials onto the surface and it worked. Maybe I am missing something?

you have a polycurve and it gives you a polysurface, it the normal behaviour.

if you need a single surface you need to redraw the curve, for rendering purposes you don’t need to.

When Join is used on multiple curves the result is a polycurve, not a single curve. As nachetz said, extruding a polycurve results in a polysurface.

You could create a single surface from the polysurface but it will have multi-knots and/or change shape.
Explode the polysurface
MergeSrf adjacent surfaces. Smooth=No and Round=0 results in no change in the shape but multi-knots where the internal surface edges were.

Thank you Nachetz, in twin motion, it was showing material in multiple directions.

you can do as @davidcockey explained step by step and get a clean srf or apply some mapping in Twinmotion (i suposse it uses uv mapping by default) and you have to unwrapp
