Solidify Face (Solid)

Solidify Face (Solid)#

Dependencies#

This node requires FreeCAD library to work.

Functionality#

This node takes a Solid Face (i.e. a Surface trimmed by some edges), and makes a Solid object from it, by offsetting the face along it’s normals. In a way, it is similar to what “Solidify” node does to mesh.

Solid Face object can be created with nodes from “Make Face” submenu (such as “Face from Curve”); also any NURBS or NURBS-like surface can be used as a Solid Face.

Inputs#

This node has the following inputs:

  • SolidFace. Solid Face object to be used for Solid generation. This input is mandatory.

  • Offset. Offset value. The default value is 0.1.

  • Tolerance. Calculation tolerance. The default value is 0.01.

Parameters#

This node has the following parameter:

  • Flat output. If checked, the node will generate one flat list of Solid objects for all lists of input faces. Otherwise, the node will generate a separate list of Solid objects for each list of input faces. Checked by default.

Outputs#

This node has the following output:

  • Solid. The generated Solid object.

Example of Usage#

Make a Face from a closed NURBS curve, then offset it along normal to make a Solid object:
