Hello,  
I would like to have an empty tube without face ends.  
I use Extrude or Loft for the cylinder, so I have a body on which I can’t remove the 2 ends.  
I don’t use Shell because I don’t want a thickness.  
It’s probably very simple, but on Shapr3d I can’t find it.  
Is that possible?  
Thanks.

Not sure how one can have a cylinder without and no wall thickness.  
The only thing that comes to mind is make the ends transparent.

Shapr doesn’t yet support zero-thickness walls or extrusions.

Thanks TigerMike

Yes, I realize that transparent ends makes for more of an illusion than anything practical. I am interested to know why you like to use/have a cylinder with zero wall thickness, and why?

A mon avis dans un logiciel volumique sans possibilité de créer des surfaces c’est impossible. C’est un monde qui existe cependant dans d’autre logiciels volumiques qui permettent de créer des surfaces je pense en particulier de SolidEdge de Siemens. Bonsoir.

En effet, j’utilise MoI3d ou OnShape pour créer des surfaces 🙂
