    When you sliced the object in Xtreme, it was no longer a closed shape. You will need to use the shape editor to join the two lines that were created by the slice operation. Once the two lines are joined they will automatically be filled.

    Sounds like you may have got the line itself as a shape rather than an outline to a shape.
    If so you cannot fill the area within, you can only fill and outline the line itself - Hope that makes sense.

    Chris,

    It looks like you've imported a line converted to a shape into Xara3D.

    If you still have the original .xar file:

    Clone the shape (Ctrl+K)
    Remove any Shadow
    Remove any Bevel
    Arrange / Combine Shapes / Break Shapes.
    Delete one shape.
    You should be left with a complete filed shape.

    If not post the original xar.
