My "boot" did not have face on the top (like the one on the left) so I added cylinder to the top and then used the "make manifold" feature of the 3D print tool. After that when I slide the cylinder up out of the way it leaves behind a boot with a nice flat surface across the top. I have two questions. If I only had the boot on the left (without the surface on top) how could I get a cursor to the center of area where I want the surface. How would I create the surface so the "boot" is "manifold"?

$\begingroup$ Select the vertices ring (Alt RMB) and fill (F)? $\endgroup$– moonbootsCommented Mar 11 at 19:34

$\begingroup$ That worked, thanks. I thought I tried it before and ended up with a domed top instead of a flat surface. $\endgroup$– DonCommented Mar 11 at 19:44

$\begingroup$ I duplicated the issue I had before. It creates a dome of many surfaces if a subdivide modifier was added previously. Is there a way to have the modifier not affect the newly added "fill"? $\endgroup$– DonCommented Mar 11 at 20:14

$\begingroup$ I ended up applying the subdivide modifier and the making the face. Thanks again for your help. $\endgroup$– DonCommented Mar 11 at 20:30

$\begingroup$ I'm not at a computer right now, but I could have sworn I usually use
Alt+LMBfor selecting the ring... $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 11 at 21:09 -
