<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Description">Description</span></h2>
<p>The <b>Thickness</b> tool works on a solid Body and transforms it into a thick-walled hollow object with at least one open face, giving to each of its remaining faces a uniform thickness. On some solids it allows you to significantly speed up the work, and avoids making extrusions and pockets.

<ul><li> <b>Thickness</b>: Wall thickness of the resulting object. Set the desired value.</li>
<li> <b>Mode</b>
<ul><li> <i>Skin</i>: Select this option if you want to get an item like a vase, headless but with the bottom</li>

<li> <b>Join Type</b>
