Hi  
Is there a way to shell without losing a face, ie create a hollow item without using revolve or loft?

@Lostboys  
If the Body can be scaled down satisfactorily, e.g., Cube, Sphere or Bodies that are not too complex:

**Transform \> Scale** Select Body 01 \> hit the Copy Badge \> slide the Scale downward to the appropriate %

**Tools \> Subtract** \> Select Body 01 \> Next \> Select Body 01(1) \> Done

If you have a Flat Face Tap on it to Select and push the Double Arrows to verify that it gives the result expected  
Alternatively use **Tools \> Color** to make the Body transparent

If none of the above are suitable please supply a ScreenShot of the Design to be processed.

Just simply select the entire body.

Fantastic, all this time I have been selecting a single surface, didn’t cross my mind to click entire object.  
Thank you.
