Volume Inside Shell

Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

  • Click the button in the toolbar.

  • Select Solid > Objects > Volume Inside Shell from the menu bar.

Create an object inside a shelled part, filling up the shell.

This is useful when you get a shelled part and need to create an object holding its inner volume. It is particularly useful for the creation of cores for sand casting and may also be useful for other casting technologies (investment casting, for example).
