We should get an option for surface modeling in Shapr3D.
It would be of great help for modelling complex geometries.

The model created using such a feature will possess a surface area but not the volume or mass properties . Instead of a complete solid model we will get a sheet model .

Yes, I have tried it but that is not what I am trying to say here.

Thank you, wow that is great BUT it will take me a while to get to grips with this but it could be very useful to me in the future
