Creating a shell from solids, NURBS surfaces, and planar objects

shellsolid_tool.png 

The Shell Solid tool is in the 3D Modeling tool set.

The Shell Solid tool creates a hollow shell from a solid object or gives thickness to NURBS surfaces and planar objects. Most injection-molded plastic parts have a shell.
