transformation of a solid 3d into surfaces

[gabrielev]

Hello everyone,

I need to turn a solid 3d into simple surfaces (the external ones of the solid).
For example, I have a 3d cylindrical structure but I only need its external surfaces.
I need this because I should use the composite module where it is necessary to start from the surfaces to then roll a solid.
I do not know if there is a method for the composite module where you can start directly from solids.

in any case you can use the foreign command

you can do with the outside command but after I also need to delete the solid from which I extracted this surface, but if I gate the solid correctly gives me a mistake because the 2 things are tied.
Is there a way to get rid of them?

in the toolbar "tools", usually at the bottom, there is the icon "to insert reference" that with lightning: If you select, the task you perform is shot.

If you want to always work shooter, double-click on it.

otherwise you can copy the surface and paste it "as result": When you cancel the rest, that remains.

ps when you extract, use continuity on points, so it takes everything in one shot only
