Separate 3D Solids
You can separate (take apart) composite solids. The composite 3D solid object
cannot share a common area or volume. After separation of the 3D solid, the
individual solids retain the layers and colors of the original. All nested 3D
solid objects are separated into their simplest form.
To separate a 3D solid composite into individual solids
1 From the Modify menu, choose Solids Editing ➤ Separate.
2 Select the 3D solid object.
3 Press
ENTER to complete the command.

Shell 3D Solids
You can create a shell or a hollow thin wall with a specified thickness from
your 3D solid object. AutoCAD creates new faces by offsetting existing ones
inside or outside their original positions. AutoCAD treats continuously
tangent faces as single faces when offsetting.
To create a 3D solid shell
1 From the Modify menu, choose Solids Editing ➤ Shell.
2 Select the 3D solid object.
3 Select a face to be excluded from shelling (1).
