Sculpture shell to solid object

[mannbergU89AG]

I created a Form from a sketch and extruded it, rotated one of the faces and got a form / sculpture looking like the one in the attached screenshot. But the model is only a shell. How do a convert it to a solid object? I want a solid object and not a thin shell.

Assuming you did this with "Capture design history" enabled or otherwise known as Timeline mode, once you click the "Finish form" button the T-Spline object is automatically converted into one or more bodies.

If this creates several bodies - open surface bodies in this case - you'll have to go into the patch environment and stitch these together to form a single open surface body. Then you can use "Create ->thicken" . That creates a separate solid body with thickness.

Here is the part.

Is something like this what you are after?

Or this?

More information on your true design intent might help.

The steps that I used are all recorded like reading a book of instructions in the Timeline.

Have you gone through the Help>Tutorials?

Hello 🙂

I'm still a newbie.

When you say "rotated one of the faces"......how did you do that?

What happens to the timeline?

Thank you for your help. 🙂
