Select a thin solid and click Extract to extract
the midsurface. Use the microdialog to preview and extract a side face instead.
-
Click on the Geometry tab.
-
Select the Midsurface tool.

-
Select a thin solid.
A preview of the midsurface is shown. The thickness is automatically
calculated and displayed in the microdialog, but cannot be edited.
- Optional:
To extract a side face instead, click the
icon to preview one of the side faces. Click the
icon again to preview the other side face.
-
Click the preview to confirm and extract the desired face.
The original thin solid is deactivated.
Tip:
- It's generally faster to extract a side rather than the midsurface, and the
results will be the same.
- To restore the original thin solid, open the Midsurface tool and select the
extracted surface.
