If you wish to have different features have different wall thicknesses then each feature needs to be created as a new solid when your choice is to Join, Cut, Intersect or new Solid. See figure.2SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyShellGenerates a hollow feature from a solid model with a choice of wall thickness(es) with or without open faces. BEFORE: Start with a Solid ModelAFTER: Shell with specific wall thickness and the top face removed.3SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyConstant Wall ThicknessCommon Thickness StepRemove this faceOffset Outside, Inside, or Both4SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyConstant Wall Thickness5SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyShellUnique Thickness Step (optional)6SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHow to keep the base solid1.
