I'm back again with this problem in thickening a surface done with STYLE. I cannot give a 1.5mm thickness. Please tell me if you manage to do it mantaining the same primary curve and modifying, adding, deleting only the internal ones. I really do not know how to do it! THANKS

i try your models


to thicken outside is no problem,but there is a problem if you want to thik inside


you must carefull because you have 3 option in thicken shape option:automatic,controled an normal to surface


i use controled (also you can controled fit)and both work .BUT is not working for automatic


here is your example


If you work in plastic i suppose a cut will must be added


if you work in italy we can meet.i m not very far

Thanks for answering. Yes your suggestion works!


the only thing is that I would like to knowwhy I cannot use the normal to surface and above all how to correct the shape in case I really need to make a Norm-to-surf thickening.


Anyway thanks...hope in France things are better than in Italy!!!

Always try to styling surface from inside first


take a look to my new model outside made


is not necesary to change anything when you thick to outside
