Obtaining surface from solid
Obtaining surface from solid
(OP)
Hello guys,
Please, I would like to know if is there a way to obtain a surface from a solid. I mean, I have an irregular solid and want to get just its outer face and make it into a surface.
I tried the "surface offset", but the resulted surface is dependant on the original solid (if I delete the solid, the surface is also deleted, and I don't want this).
In other words, I need to open a solid, obtain a surface equal its external face, and save this surface in another file.
Anybody please can help me?
Thanks and regards,
Eduardo Torrecillas
