[Gmsh] Proper way to make a volume from a line-loop

[Brian Drawert]

Hi all,
I am having trouble with something that is probably quite simple.  I hope this community can help.  I have a 1D shape, and I need to rotate it to make a 3D volume. I start by defining the points along the arc, connect them with their mirror image across the y/z=0 axis, then extrude by rotating.  This gives me the proper shape, but not a volume mesh.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
 Brian
