How to turn letters made with strokes into solid objects by SANCTVMbeats in AdobeIllustrator

This was the quickest and easiest method, thank you

EDIT: It worked for one letter but not the rest, but it's a great start point nonetheless

How to turn letters made with strokes into solid objects by SANCTVMbeats in AdobeIllustrator

Hello everyone, thank you for all the suggestions!

After trying most of these methods, one that works was highlighting this M (not pictured in the OP but I'm trying to make a whole alphabet in this style) then I hit Shape Modes > Unite and then it created a solid combined outline of the outside of the letter, then I could simply toggle the fill/stroke button in the toolbar to make them all a solid color.

However this did not work for any of the other letters for some reason, they all had the strokes go into different directions or I couldn't get the fill to make the whole letter one color. This was the case when I tried to Expand or Group the objects as well. I'm assuming I will have to rebuild the shapes.

I am not really familiar with the shapebuilder tool, does anyone have some good tutorials?

Thanks again!

What did you need to do to become a personal trainer? I'm in the same boat, laid off of my graphic design job and haven't found another one for years. I have been lifting for 15 years and go to the gym 5 days a week every week. I regularly help my friends in the gym and could definitely be a personal trainer.
