Re: Shell of complex shape?

Well, you can do it with offset surfaces, some trims, maybe a thicken and a reasonable intuition for how the software and CAD processes work. It doesn't matter how many surfaces there are. 20 is not a lot, in case you were thinking that. In real life dimensions for product kinda changes: it is not ...
