Easy task I suppose, here is a pedestal I built in shapr but I would like to just get the outside panel out of that solid. In real life I will use 18ga sheet of brass and I can use the tool shell at 0.04” to do so but the last bit is the bottom of the shell. Can we go all the way through instead?

When you use the Shell tool, just select all the faces you want to remove.

I swear sometimes I want to die when that happens. Thanks for taking the time to make me less dumb ahah.
