solid creation in generative shape design

[valebiro]

Hello everyone! !

I have a question to ask you:

in the generational shape design module there is the possibility through the "volume" command bar to create solids. they unlike those created in part design appear purple (and not gray).

my question is: what difference is there between a solid made of part design (gray) and a solid made of generative shape design (violet)?
and if I'm working in generative shape design, do I want to make a solid by staying in this module, or is it better to return to the environment part? ?

Thank you very much.

I try to help you!:finger: they are two separate modules, you can switch from one module to another while you are modeling, but the part design is used for all solid models, while the generation shape design is used to work surfaces! You have to know what is best to do in the two contexts based on what you have to create!correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks for the answer forflight!!
I agree with you, but what I was interested in is also knowing if there is any difference (special properties or other) between the solids created in these two different modules, since, in my opinion, if the default color of solids created in partdesign and generative shape design is different, something different must be there.

to be more precise in the generative shape design the "objects" of purple color are therefore volumes of the closed and not solid surfaces. it would not make sense to generate solids in an environment of surfaces. Obviously such surfaces can be "filled" to generate solids but if you want solids it is better to use the powerful and easy controls provided in part design.

but the surfaces are born with the goal of becoming solid, right?

not always
sometimes it is enough that they remain without thickness: concept, possible rapid prototyping, cam, cam+reverse and many other cases
However the separation (conceptual) between surfaces and solids is not clear.
depends on the forms you keep.
type:
99% surfaces and then 1% solid
or
60% surfaces and then solid
or
30% higher then 20%solid then 20 surfaces and then solid again and so on...
(all percentages are absolutely indicative)
