Shell from a planar object

To create a shell solid from a planar object:

Click the tool and then click Preferences.

Enter the shell preferences as described in Shell from a solid object.

For planar objects, the Inside/Outside setting determines on which side of the plane the shell solid will be extended; the direction depends on several factors related to the object’s creation, geometry, and placement in the document.

Click the planar object to thicken. To select multiple objects, hold the Shift key while selecting.

Press Enter or click the check mark button on the Tool bar to create the shell.
