Hi, I drew an enclosed object with the line tool.  I selected it with the direct selection tool and I can't get it to fill with the gradient tool.  What am I doing wrong?

    Correct answer Monika Gause

    if I set the fill to null and the stroke to gradiant, the border of the object is gradiant but I want the whole object to be filled  with the gradient


    THose are single paths. You will first need to combine them to get a shape
