Summary
A useful technique for modeling a complex 3D curved solid is to first create
a surface and then convert it to a 3D solid by thickening it.
Initially, the default thickness value is zero. During a drawing session, the
default value for the thickness is the previously entered thickness value.
The
DELOBJ (page 1213) system variable controls whether the object(s) you
select are automatically deleted when the surface is created or whether you
are prompted to delete the object(s).
If you select a mesh face to thicken, you can choose to convert the mesh object
to a solid or surface before completing the operation.
List of Options
The following prompts are displayed.
Surfaces to thicken Specifies one or more surfaces to thicken into solids.
Thickness Sets the height of the thickened object.
