How do I pad only edges?

Post by Mr.Tom »

Hallo,
I want to build a framework from a warbles structure.
When I create warbs in Sketcher, how do I fill them as body, without them becoming surfaces?

To make this you should use the Pyramids-and-Polyhedrons workbench

You can try Arch->Wall. For the correct angles there is a special attachment mode . There is also an addon macro for polyhedrons.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
