Thicken Surface

Turns the zero surface of a field into a solid plate of the given thickness, centred on that surface. Works with any scalar field, such as a TPMS or a distance-to-lines field.

Inputs

Field Number

The field whose zero surface becomes the middle of the plate.

Takes: any block that gives Number (102 blocks)
Thickness Number

Total plate thickness in mm, split evenly on both sides of the surface. Wire a field for a varying thickness.

Takes: any block that gives Number (102 blocks)

Output

Solid

Used by: any block that takes Solid (95 blocks)

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The axis-aligned extent of the Solid.

ScalarField Number

The Solid's signed distance, as a field.

Inverted Solid

The Solid turned inside out: what was inside is now outside.
