How to add a thick layer to all surfaces of a part
How to add a thick layer to all surfaces of a part
(OP)
I have a fabricated (5/8 plate) assembly that needs to be coated with 1 inch of rubber on all faces. I have made a model of the steel structure and then one of the rubber. Then made and assemble of the two, mated in the correct position and used that as a base for my drawing.
But.. this seems rather convoluted and wonder if there is an easier (more professional)way to accomplish this. I played with the Insert > Surface > Offset feature that would be perfect.. if it made a solid segment.
Any other thoughts / solutions on how to add a layer 1 inch thick (of a different material) to a part / assembly.
Thanks for your time.

Another method is to copy the original body (the 5/8" plate) and then use the Shell command with the Shell outward option to create the coating.
