the quick and dirty way to close it up is to select those end points and scale x,y=0, z=1 this closes it to a point.

Another method I sometimes use to close up a (relatively) rounded nose is to make the nose tip a sphere and scale, nudge into place.

It looks like your nose section there is somewhat "flattened" so before closing it you may wany to scale in those nose vertices in the x direction only, to 'round out' the shape.

I guess I think faster than I type...

x,y=0 means x=0, y=0

in the second case, do a drag scale constrained to the x-axis only.

that still didnt work for me. I completely restarted the plane from the beginning and it still doesnt work very good.

Real good questions when I went to

Part>Add>Tube was I suppose to check the boxes:

Close Left/Bottom/Front
Close Right/Top/Back

P.S. the only one that was checked was the default close right/top/back.

Please help me this stuff has got me stumped

Thanks

I usually uncheck the "close ends" because if I start adding sections, etc., it usually moves the end polygons in ...

When you scale the end points to x=0 and y=0, you close all the points - and the tip becomes a point. you have to add sections and scale that section "out" to "soften" the tip....
