I noticed some some odd behaviour using the Shell command. If I shell the part in the attached file to a wall thickness of 1 (by removing the flat surface on top) everything works fine. However, if I Shell at a smaller wall thickness (0.1), the Shell fails to create a solid. I didn’t bother to find the threshold though . The failed shell can easily be corrected, so no big deal, but I’m just wondering if someone can shine some light on this behaviour.
Hi Jan - so far this works at all the thicknesses I’ve tested. I see that the original has a seam from the cylinder in it though, which unecessarily splits that face into two:
If you untrim that face and rotate the cylinder a little to get the seam out of the way
Thanks for the advice! The Shell command still failed, but only in joining the surfaces. This is easily solved by exploding and joining, and everything is fine.
I heard you are leaving McNeel. Thanks for all the support you gave me! You were always very quick to reply to any problem I had!
