Hi Michael and Olga,

> I guess it sounded like Olga had done some other steps to the sphere and cone and was having a problem with booleaning after those steps?

That's the bit I don't get, if you do a offset/shell at 1.5-2mm with this piece the main walls of the triangle piece would engulf the offset of the
sphere and cone so the offset of those features wouldn't be necessary, or I am missing something here ?

Cheers

This is what I mean, I took a section and offset the curves at 1.5mm (highlighted)
the result would be a small pocket in the center of the piece as shown in between the red lines
because the sphere and cone offset would be trimmed to the bottom of the piece, is this correct
in what I'm saying ?



Cheers

Hi Danny, yeah I think that is correct. I'm just not quite following along so well with some of the later stages being described there, having a model to look at to go along with a description is always helpful to clear things up.

Hi Michael hi Danny

I attach the file where I tried to shell the surface of my design for a pendant
I could not shell the whole thing so I blew up the surface and shelled it in parts but could not join them together and remove extras (I tried Boolean union, merge)
I did not shell two small top corners so this has to be fixed also

Please take a look – you might have an idea how to merge them together and remove extras

Here the thickness is 1 mm.

Hi Olga,

It's a bit of work, spent about 20 min on it but it was a combination of offsets, untrims, trims, booleans, separations and a front end labotomy ;)
If you really, really need a step by step explanation (please say no) ;) then I'll need some time.

It's basically what Michael said earlier Here about 'low level' approach.
I was going to give up after 10 min but it got the better of me so I had to finish it.

Cheers

Hi Danny
No I do not a step by step explanation
That looks exactly I want to achieve.
Did you use my latest file or the earlier one with only the basic surface with no thickness?

-Thanks - Olga-
