How do I make my shape hollow?

meg_brown

Hi there, 

I am trying to make my shape hollow, but it says that it did not 'regenerate' properly.

How do I fix this??? I would super appreciate se help!

Did you try selecting the part to hollow? If it won't shell it will be because of the proximity of the holes to the edges.

@meg_brown, I don't know how large your part is but the shell thickness may be a factor as well.  Try reducing the shell thickness.

These are the problem areas you may want to cut away these walls hhen hollow then add them back in with split and boolean

Please take a look at Part studio 2, this could be a way to do this.
Are you sure about the size??
And I think it is much easier to import an image into a sketch and trace the image in Onshape, and with entering the first dimension the total sketch will resize to the proper dimension.
