this may seem basic to some but I’m missing a few faces and I cant seem to repair them
You can use the Line tool to stitch between vertices on the curves and heal the faces. Then soften the edges. You could also use an extension like Curviloft to generate the surface after selecting the edges around the hole.
Or you could use Push/Pull to push the side face out and then delete what you don’t need.
thank you. Push Pull seemed to do the trick.
