Hollow model
Menu: Facets Icon: No short cut
This function generates a hollow model from a solid model.
Dialog Hollow model
Wall Thickness:
Thickness of the shell (mm).
Accuracy:
The interior surface will be calculated with the given accuracy (rough, average, fine) or can be
defined with the option User. The outer surface will stay untouched in any case.
Deviation (User)
Defines the allowed variation from the specified offset value.
Memory demand
The given Deviation determines the number of new created triangles and thus the storage
requirement during the computation. The memory demand is only rough estimated and refers to
the temporarly generated triangles. By optimization of the calculated surface the result has
clearly fewer triangles.
