two solid works questions

Hi

I have large surface , how to divide it to component and how to add thickness to it

I have solid wworks 2010 premium

best regards

I'm not sure what you mean by divide component, but look in the help for Split Line. To thicken the surface (depending on your geometry) go to Insert/ Boss/ Thicken.

Depending on what you are actually trying to do, you may have to thicken the surface first, then split.

it give unable to thiken this surface , is there any limitationn on add thickness

If you have radi, that are smaller then the amount you want to thicken it will error. try a midplane thicken or opposite direction

I doubt you will be able to do much of any use with an STL file.

here it's the stl file , any help to add thikness to it
