I'm trying to extrude a vector file either with the extrude command or the loft (duplicating the vector file first).
In each case it seems it doesn't work really well. The Vector is extruded but there's no surface on front or back of the path. So, basically, it's been extruded but only along the sides.
Any hints?

P.S. I may add a file later if it doesn't sound clear.

Most basic steps:

File>import>eps - select a .ai (v8) or .eps file
Create>Polymesh>Curves to Mesh - open the extrude tab for options of closing/extruding front-tube-end.
