  • making a polygon plane a bit thicker

    Posted by Nicolasbuechi on August 7, 2007 at 7:39 am

    hello and good morning

    i have the following question:

    i have a plane, but i deformed it, so it has now the form of a v.

    no i want it to give it some thickness, so around one 1cm thick. how can i do that? i have it already converted to polygones.

    thank you for your answer.

    -You will have to move points in the direction you want it to be thicker.
    -Or you could copy and paste it move it 1cm and bridge them together.
    -You could take a CUBE squishing it down to be the thickness you want then deforming it.

    -Personally I would use a spline inside a sweep nurb with a square. The square then can be adjusted to the size you want. And then if you need to modify it more you can make it polygon object…

    Try this:
    Deselect all your polygons / but stay in Polygon-Mode /
    Go to Structure/Extrude /
    In the Attributes-Manager (Offset should be 1 m) (and check Create Caps) /
    Hit Apply.

    Cheers
