Description
The Part Thickness command works on a solid shape and transforms it into a hollow object, giving to each of its faces a defined and constant thickness. On some solids it allows you to significantly speed up the work, and avoids making extrusions and pockets.
Hollowed out half of a sphere
Usage
- Select one or more faces of an existing solid.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Thickness button.
- Select the Part →
Thickness option from the menu.
- Press the
- A Thickness object is created and the Thickness task panel opens.
- Set the parameters (see Options).
- Optionally press the Faces button to reselect one or more faces.
- Press OK to close the task panel.
Options
- Thickness: Wall thickness of the resulting object, set the desired value.
- A positive value will offset the faces outward
- A negative value will offset the faces inward
- Mode
- Skin: Only this mode is currently implemented in OCC.
- Pipe: This mode has no effect as it's currently not implemented in OCC.
- Recto verso: This mode has no effect as it's currently not implemented in OCC.
- Join type
- Arc: Removes the outer edges and creates a fillet with a radius equal to the thickness defined.
- Tangent: Results in sharp corners.
- Intersection: Results in sharp corners.
- Intersection: When enabled, self-intersections in some models are avoided.
- Self-intersection: This option is currently not implemented in OCC and should be left with the default value (false).
- Faces: Select the faces to be removed, then click Done.
- Update view: Automatically updates the view in real time.
Notes
- App Link objects linked to the appropriate object types can also be used as source objects.
- Complex shapes may produce bizarre, hard to predict results. Carefully inspect the resulting shape and save your work before applying the operation.
- As noted in the OCC documentation and mentioned in the Options section, some options are not implemented yet.
