Hello,
I am trying to thicken a part which is comprised of surfaces. Thickening outwards works Ok, but when I try to thicken inwards I am getting an "Error: The selected faces could not be offset.
Try adjusting the offset/thickness value or changing the selection of faces".
I understand that the error probably stems because different faces will intersect after thickening and it's not allowed, although I don't see why not to resolve it with some assumptions.
I need the thickening inwards because I don't want to increase the external volume of the part. Is there are any way to achieve the desired result? I need to thicken by 2mm.
Thank you in advance,
Ilia
