Hello Everyone!
I am on FreeCAD 0.19 - I have experience with AutoCAD and DoubleCad.
I am new to FreeCAD, however not new to CAD and drawing. I just acquired a 3D printer and have been working on a logo File. I am converting an SVG to a 3D model or at least 3D faces, however I am having troubles with a couple of the files, not converting a face with the extrude command.
I converted the SVG using the draft function. I did a couple repairs and I redrew the polygon, as it came over as a BSpline.
Here is the SVG file I am converting.
Here is the completed sketch.
And then here is the Extruded Part.
I would greatly appreciate help with this and looking forward to learning as to what I am possibly doing wrong.

Re: SVG to FreeCAD - Not creating face
Hi and welcome to the forum!
I will have a look, but can already say, that some points are not connected. The Sketcher ValidateSketch tool can help identifying those points.

There are indeed 5 tips of the leafs not connected. Let the validator find and fix them. Then set Solid=True in the properties of the Extrude.

Re: SVG to FreeCAD - Not creating face
Edit: I checked after posting and the file fails check geometry with self-intersections. You might have to do as chris has suggested and convert to sketches and fix the sketches.

Use Draft workbench to downgrade (down arrow icon) to a wire and then upgrade back to a face. You can then extrude the face in the z custom direction.
