      Did you use a closed curve?

      You need to have a closed surface in order to be able to apply a material.  If you haven't used a closed curve as Marc suggested, you can still make it such by applying Peter's 'Thicken' script.  You will need to convert the spline to a triangle mesh first, though.

      I used a closed curve fineshed with control-double-click. If I keep radius to 0.0  the lathe will create a closed surface, else, I get a open surface that can't use material.
      Lathe can generate open surface from closed curve too. Its depend of radius value.
      Thicken script resolved this problem.
      Thanks!
