Wireframe Solid Hull

To access this dialog:

Activate the Surfaces ribbon and select Operations | Boolean | Solid Hull

The Solid Hull dialog is used to generate the outer surface of overlapping solid wireframes. This performs the equivalent of a series of wireframe-union operations on pairs of wireframes until all the outer surfaces are combined into a single solid shape. Resolves any overlaps in the selected wireframe.

More than one wireframe surface must be present in the selected wireframe object, or selected triangle data, for this command to be used. All surfaces will be combined into a single 3D hull object.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

Field Details:

The following fields are available:

Object: select either a wireframe object in memory you wish to hull, or Selected triangles to create a hull based on only the selected data. You can select wireframe triangle data whilst the Solid Hull dialog is open if you wish.

Output Wireframe: you can either output wireframe data in the Current object, an existing wireframe object (pick it from the list) or a new object (type a new name).
