# Create Inside Solid

inside

This command is used to define a solid (inside solid) such that when it is subtracted from another certain solid (outside solid), the resulting region will have desired thicknesses. To invoke this option, enter "inside". You will then be prompted for the required data. If you are in the solid edit mode, the "outside solid" will default to the solid presently being edited. If you are in the object edit mode, the "outside solid" will default to the "key solid" of the object path being edited. If you are not in an edit mode, you will then be asked for the name of the "outside solid". Next, you will be asked what name you wish to call the new "inside solid" to be calculated. Finally, you will be asked to enter the thickness[es], depending on the solid type. The "inside solid" will then be displayed on the screen. If the thickness values input are negative, then the thickness will be directed to the "outside" of the solid.
