Thickness per Face?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have the body that I want modeled in the the Sculpt Environment and depending on the face I want a different thickness.

 

Is there a way to use the thicken tool for individual faces on a single body? Or a good work around?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the Fuiosn 360 Forum!

 

The thicken command does not provide an option to thicken individual faces.

 

Could you post a screenshot or share your design so we have a better idea what you are treing to achieve ?

My goal is to have the entire body have a thickness of 5mm and the blue section a thickness of 7mm, while maintaining direct modeling capabilities

Not knowing what the desired overall end result of your desing is it is hard to give a recommendation and the following might not address what you need.

 

However, there is not need to model this siple geometric shape in the T-Spline environment. This is much simpler to do in the Model environment and there can be done either in parametric or direct modeling mode.

T-Spline modeing is better used for smooth organinc forms.

I'm not at liberty to share the exact file. I've used the direct modeling capabilities to create a cylinder like shape. Most of the shape needs to have a uniform thickness with several faces at a different thickness.
