Make the inside of a 3D object hollow.
hollow(
@solid: Solid,
thickness: number(Length),
): Solid
Remove volume from a 3-dimensional shape such that a wall of the provided thickness remains around the exterior of the shape.
Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
solid | Solid | Which solid to hollow out | Yes |
thickness | number(Length) | The thickness of the remaining shell | Yes |
Returns
Solid - A solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.
Examples
// Hollow a basic sketch.
firstSketch = startSketchOn(XY)
|> startProfile(at = [-12, 12])
|> line(end = [24, 0])
|> line(end = [0, -24])
|> line(end = [-24, 0])
|> close()
|> extrude(length = 6)
|> hollow (thickness = 0.25)
// Hollow a basic sketch.
firstSketch = startSketchOn(-XZ)
|> startProfile(at = [-12, 12])
|> line(end = [24, 0])
|> line(end = [0, -24])
|> line(end = [-24, 0])
|> close()
|> extrude(length = 6)
|> hollow (thickness = 0.5)
// Hollow a sketch on face object.
size = 100
case = startSketchOn(-XZ)
|> startProfile(at = [-size, -size])
|> line(end = [2 * size, 0])
|> line(end = [0, 2 * size])
|> tangentialArc(endAbsolute = [-size, size])
|> close()
|> extrude(length = 65)
thing1 = startSketchOn(case, face = END)
|> circle( center = [-size / 2, -size / 2], radius = 25 )
|> extrude(length = 50)
thing2 = startSketchOn(case, face = END)
|> circle( center = [size / 2, -size / 2], radius = 25 )
|> extrude(length = 50)
hollow(case, thickness = 0.5)
