std::solid::hollow Make the inside of a 3D object hollow. manual

Make the inside of a 3D object hollow.

Remove volume from a 3-dimensional shape such that a wall of the provided thickness remains around the exterior of the shape.

hollow(
  @solid: Solid,
  thickness: number(Length),
): Solid

Arguments

Name Type Description Required
solid Solid Which solid to hollow out Yes
thickness number(Length) The thickness of the remaining shell Yes

Returns

Solid

Examples

// Hollow a basic sketch.
firstSketch = startSketchOn(XY)
    |> startProfile(at = [-12, 12])
    |> line(end = [24, 0])
    |> line(end = [0, -24])
    |> line(end = [-24, 0])
    |> close()
    |> extrude(length = 6)
    |> hollow (thickness = 0.25)
