Description

The Curves ParametricSolid tool creates a parametric solid from selected faces.

A wing shape comprised of 4 faces before (left) and a single solid after the application of this tool (right)

Usage

1. Select some faces in the 3D view, or some objects in the tree view.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the Parametric solid button.
   • Select the Misc. → Parametric solid option from the menu.
3. A Solid object is created, its status and according icon describe the result:
   • Solid: The selected elements result in a closed shell and is recognized as a solid object.
   • Shell: The selected elements result in an open shell.
   • Compound: ...
   • none: ...
4. Optionally edit the values in the Property editor to add more surface elements or to display the open edges of surface shapes only (see Properties below).

Notes

• This tool will try to build a solid from selected faces. If that is not possible, it falls back to a shell, then to a compound.
• If the created shape is a solid it can be used as any other solid in other workbenches (i.e. Part or PartDesign workbenches). It has volume and weight.
