How to remove material under a extrusion

david_orlandodavid_orlando Member Posts: 9

I am designing a tray to hold all my 3/8" sockets and I have included a document that I am practicing on. I could leave the tray as a solid chunk of plastic but was wondering how easy it would be to turn the extruded cylinders into thin walls to minimize the amount of material under the tray. I would like to remove all the unnecessary material under the depressions.

Thanks

    Get rid of extrude 4 and use the "shell" feature.
