I wanna give this membrane a thickness!

[hfs]

Yeah

 

Thanks guys for your time. I will let you know how things turn out...

You didn't indicate desired Thickness which side (or midplane) for the thickness.

See attached (use ACISIN to import back into AutoCAD).

 

oops, never mind - the file is too large (776kb) to attach here.

I used Autodesk Inventor to do the job.

 

Hmm, for some reason I can't even upload a picture today.

Well, that was too much work to get this image attached.

Seems like the site is broken.

Thanks! I don't have INVENTOR in my system. I will try to get it!

We'll assume you mean "purchase" unless you are a student of course. They can download Inventor as well as many other programs from the AutoDesk website for free.

Students can get Inventor for free from http://www.autodesk.com but per the license agreement you cannot use it for commercial purposes, only for student learing.

If you only need it for this one job - install it as 30-day trial. After you finish you could activate the 3-yr student license if desired.

 

This document explains what I did

Correct!

[hfs]

Yesssss!

AutoCAD can always do it!

 

1-3D Modeling workspace --> Mesh--> Convert to Surface

2-3D Modeling workspace --> Surface --> Offset

right click -->Solid

 

Done!

[Guest DONTBEADICKUCADNERD]

Try this:

 

1. Do a UNION to make all the surfaces into one,

2. THICKEN

Did not work.

Maybe it can work but after executing "convert to surface" command.

 

Thanks for your add!

Keep in mind that they added the Repair Environment that is supposed to replace the older Construction Environment.

If you would like to collaborate on a future AU paper or AUGI Wold article - let me know.
