No errors, work perfectly.Р”В«ut when i try the same method on two bumpy surfaces, created with bsplines, i can't convert those surfaces to shell. When i create two flat surfaces, same princip, or method, of creation, there is absolutely no trouble to make shell form those faces, and from shell to create a solid. Now, this might be useful a bit, what i was trying for a while, is to find situations when this problem occurs.

But if anyone know some good tutorial, please, add link toward the light! I saw almost every tutorial, but non of them explains what i need, i tried defferent solutions, but, non of them can do organic surface like bspline can. It's quite simple need, but for now nothing works. In one moment i tried boolean, it did worked for two surfaces, but it just not the way to go, for some reason surface resolution become downgraded. What i need is to create a solid out of the surfaces. And it would be important to me to figure this out, because the rest of the project will have a lot of similar situation.
