Struggle with filling a 'shape-builder' object

New Here ,
Jun 20, 2025 Jun 20, 2025

I'm having issues with filling shapes that I've made via multiple lines using shape builder tool, it always leaves these gaps. I've tried making it a compound path, however it doesn't work. Any solutions?

you are using objects with Fills and strokes, I usually use only Fill with and No stroke when using the Shape builder tool, however if I want to use stroke I convert it to outlines ( object -> path -> outline stroke ) which will simplifies the prcoess.

 

Press cmd + Y to see the object in the outline mode.

if the path is open,  press cmd + j  ( join ) will close the path.
