Question

Shell

All,

Is it possible to shell multiple times in a part?

I am using WF4.0 currently.

I remember the days when you tell it what to shell.

I think since WF it shells the whole part and you subtract (remove
surfaces)

If I extrude, then shell, then add another extrude, then shell...it
picks the whole part.

I try to mess with it to no avail.

hopefully I am clear on this.

Anyone?

Nothing critical. Just looking into pet peeves between assignments.

Just saw this one....


One shell per part, my friend.


But, you could create the subsequent features as closed/capped surfaces, offset it, solidify the parent then use the offset to solidifly as a cut. You can do that all day long.

I have yet to post a summary on this. So far - a few responses like
yours with the exception of the offset and solidify options, which I
have used. This may be too much.

I guess it it be nice to shell more than once. This would be quicker
than a offset edge chain option.

There are reasons why it would not work well....in considering molding,
etc.
