PartDesign Thickness/pl

Description
The PartDesign Thickness tool transforms a solid body into a hollow object with at least one open face, giving to each of its remaining faces a uniform thickness. It adds a Thickness object to the document with its corresponding representation in the Tree view.



Add a thickness

 * 1) Optionally activate the Body to apply the Thickness to.
 * 2) Select one or more faces of the Body.
 * 3) There are several ways to invoke the tool:
 * 4) * Press the button.
 * 5) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 6) If there is no active Body, and there are two or more Bodies in the document, the  dialog will open and prompt you to activate one. If there is a single Body it will be activated automatically.
 * 7) The  task panel opens. See Options for more information.
 * 8) Press the  button to finish.


 * Remember:
 * Since there must be at least one face for the feature, the last remaining face in the list cannot be removed.

Edit a thickness

 * 1) Do one of the following:
 * 2) * Double-click the Thickness object in the Tree view
 * 3) * Right-click the Thickness object in the Tree view and select from the context menu.
 * 4) The  task panel opens. See Options for more information.
 * 5) Press the  button to finish.
