Is there a way to give a Mesh thickness?
I am trying to model a very irregularly-shaped roof. I tried Loft Surface initially which was ok but not as precise as I wanted. Then I plotted a load of 3D Loci over the surface of the roof (point cloud), created a Site Model + Ungrouped it to give me a mesh. It looks great but I would really like it to have a thickness (be a solid). I have tried various options including a very laborious Shell Solid operation which kind of worked but not really... Is there anything else I can do? I only want i
Hi @jeff prince inspired by you I thought I should try + up my game a bit + I found another even easier way to do it:
Create a Landscape Area the full size of the Site Model + give it a single component the desired thickness (e.g. 50mm).
Select both the LA + the Site Model + Ungroup them.
The LA becomes a Mesh: use Convert to Generic Solids to turn it into a solid.
Delete the now redundant site model elements.
Has the added advantage of allowing you to add extra c
