Re: Shell of complex shape?
And let me just add this. It doesn't hurt to ask questions. These guys in here might have 6 ways to get the job done but, most of the time you find something that works for you from among all the ways mentioned. Yes.

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 ...

As for shelling you may have to shell earlier and then and new features for details the the new part. go here and watch some of Marks vids, may point you in the right direction: ht...

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are trying to do, but would a set of offset surfaces get you started? Probably yes. But there are like ~20 surfaces. What I need to do: I need to make a "bottle" from this of specified thickness - 6mm in my case. The walls of the "bottle" ...
