Description

The Thickness tool works on a solid shape and transforms it into a hollow object, giving to each of its faces a defined thickness. On some solids it allows you to significantly speed up the work, and avoids making extrusions and pockets.

Use

  1. Create a solid
  2. Select one or more faces
  3. Click on the Part Thickness.png Part Thickness tool
  4. Set the parameters (see Options)
  5. Click OK to confirm, create the operation and exit the function
  6. In the Properties table adjust the parameters if necessary.

Options

Limitations

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