because they are not touching each other.

to solve it, you can use the Extend Surface Command to extend them like the below:

then use the Intersect command to generate a common curve that can be used to trim both surfaces.

then trim these surfaces

and finally you can join them

Hello- I would just move the single control point at the tip of the red decking to the end of the blue surface edge that is right there - that is the only thing out of whack.

Thank you Pascal. I should have found that. I spent literally an hour searching and researching for the problem and, as usual, it turns out to be finger trouble.
Kind regards,
Hugo.

maybe mark pascals answer as solution - there is a checkbox below the post - so others don t need to dig into the topic. … happy modelling -tom

Hi Hugo - CrvDeviation or EdgeContinuity > Position can help in these cases - showing where the biggest gap is.

Thank you Pascal. I have never used these commands before. Using them would certainly have saved me a lot of time and prevented me from showing my ignorance :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
