Please Help Me Por Favor, Line into shape?

allifire15

Hello,
So I am a student and taking a modelling class, bare with me cause I know I'm a n00b. I've been looking everywhere for a simple answer, how does one make an Edible Spline into a 3d shape? I made an outline for my polearm's head (the metal axe part) and well...can't seem to remember how to transform it into a 3d shape...
So if anyone has a spare second to help me, thank you!

lots of ways to do this. all of which require the shape to be closed. if it isnt use the connect tool to drag a new segment between the open areas

1.Right click - > convert to editable poly.
2.The extrude modifier. put in a thickness value and away you go
3. the bevel modifier. like extrude by you get a bevel option.

there is an option in the modify panel called interpolation where you can control how smooth the line is. its a good idea to reduce this as low as you can if you are going to be doing sub d modeling with your spline
