Good evening

Is there a plug-in that will convert a model to its the negative space? (see image)

you can use solid tools for that.

With the V8 Pro if your model is 'Waterproof' (solid) you can make a boolean difference between a bounding "box" and your first model

Damned Jeff was more speedy by 30 seconds! :mrgreen:

thanks

Hi folks.

Solid tools are available only in SU 8 Pro.

See this SU file for two ideas (use scenes tabs) if you have only SU 8 free.

Hi Pilou, hi folks.

I changed my file to SU 6.

Best regards

Thanks for that! :enlight:

Yes your second method is valuable for this sort of simple "straight object" :thumb:

But maybe not with more organic object
With this a normal Boolean Difference should be used or your first manual method
