■ Delete the source object. Specifies whether the object to imprint is removed
when the operation is complete.
Body: Separate Solids
Separates 3D solid objects with disjointed volumes (sometimes called lumps)
into independent 3D solid objects. Combining discrete solid objects using a
union operation (UNION) can result in disjointed volumes.
A union or subtract operation can result in a single 3D solid that consists of
more than one continuous volume. You can separate these volumes into
independent 3D solids.
NOTE Separating solids does not separate Boolean objects that form a single
volume.
Select a 3D solid Specifies the 3D solid object to separate. Press Ctrl+click to
select the edge.
Body: Shell
Shelling creates a hollow, thin wall with a specified thickness. You can specify
a constant wall thickness for all the faces. You can also exclude faces from the
shell by selecting them. A 3D solid can have only one shell. New faces are
created by offsetting existing ones outside their original positions.
It is recommended that you create a copy of a 3D solid before converting it
into a shell. That way if you need to make significant modification, use the
original version and shell it again.
