This tool works on a solid form, and transforms it into a hollow object, giving to each of its faces a thickness defined. On some forms allows you to significantly speed up the work, and avoids boring extrusions and pockets.

Use

  • Create a solid
  • Select one or more faces
  • Click Part Thickness tool
  • Set the options
  • Click ok to confirm, create the operation and exit the function
  • In the Properties table adjust the parameters if necessary

ToDo

Limitations

Sometimes, on some shape produce bizarre results. Save your work before applying Thickness on complex objects
