Hi all,
Is it at all possible to shell out a specific contour rather than just a selected face?
Under the Shell properties tab I can't see any other options than to select an entire face which is not what I want to do so I was wondering if there was another way around this somehow?

There would be one shot, add a sketch to the surface or project a sketch to the surface by using the Split Line Curve Feature/ Then when you want to shell the part just select that Split Line face and the rest will shell out and that face will be removed - See attached
Brilliant stuff John,
Very nice solution indeed and just what the doctor ordered. Would have worked well if not for my poor geometry, so now I have to fix that!
But at least I know that I can shell selected items............ Thank you!
Dave.
You're quite welcome - it's a pretty easy solution, however sometimes you may want to wrap a sketch around the part rather then project it from a plane, you may want to study that a little, still use the Split Line Curve Feature though..
if there is only one part, just click the shell button, put in the thickness, and click the green check mark.
it will shell the whole inside that way
