Option for THICKNESS REMAINING THE SAME when bending T-Splines surface

Option for THICKNESS REMAINING THE SAME when bending T-Splines surface

If I add thickness to T-Splines surface and bend the surface, there is no feature/system to keep the thickness constant. Being able to do that is quite relevant in serious modelling (I have to do the thickness always in the end of the modelling, or I can’t change the shape of the surface after adding thickness, or I have to do the whole thickness process all over).

The area for ’precise’ thickness could be determined by choosing those opposite faces from the surface(s) which are involved in the feature (thickness) - or by choosing the ones which are not. Bending (with ’precise’ thickness) could be determined in relation to outer surface, inner surface or in the middle between the two surfaces. Three options?

All this could be determined hand in hand with the thickness command (checkbox for ’keep the thickness constant?’).

The ’thigtness’ between precise thickness and nonprecise thickness could be determined as well (the area where the ’precise’ thickness ends). In the model/body there might be something connected to the other side of the opposite surfaces (= surface with thickness), so the thickness can’t be present on that area (leg in a chair on the other side of the plywood/acryl, etc.).

Getting that right is very important for dimensional fidelity in molded parts. Flow and cooling rates depend on distance from the surface and being able to ensure that the parts are as close to uniform as possible makes mold design much easier
