Laurel Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Out of curiosity, how did you end up with the drawing farthest down and to the right. As you know, I originally wanted to use SOLIDEDIT > SHELL, if only to learn how to use the command properly, but as this is apparantly impossible, I used the slice command you suggested along with subtract. See the attached drawing to illustrate. I think I am now clear about the command, but only time will tell. Thanks again. Shell 5.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 it looks like you have it all worked out! Just as a note of caution. Dont take my word as the ultimate answer. As i said a few times i rarely use the shell command:) I still havent had a chance to play with intersect or taper face yet(solidedit>face>taper) but i know it will also help in this case.

Laurel Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thank you both for your help Shifty - I think that the model I suggested for 'shell'-ing was just a bad example. The shell that is actually produced is nothing like that which I imagined would be produced. Probably just a quirk of the command. No matter though. We've managed to get to the bottom of 'shell'-ing, so problem solved! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'VE SPOKEN TOO SOON I've come across a simple shape that I can't shell!! I've posted it in a new thread, as this is getting a bit long, and I don't want anything we've discussed here to complicate matters!!
