      Hello,

      I've created a curved face with Soap Skin&Bubble plugin, but I don't know how to make it thick.
      Can anyone help me?
      Thanks.

        Hi die2ad,

        If it was me, I'd copy it, drop it and make faces along the open edges. However, that's how I would do it. I am sure others may have a better solution.

        Mike

          I'd use Fredo's awesome Joint Push Pull plugin.

              Else you can copy + Size
              And close the inbetween with some plug like Loft, EE by Rail etc...

                I know about JPP, I've tried that and the copy thing, but I thought there's better solution.
                Anyway, thanks for the replys.
                Maybe this topic should stay open.

                Again, thanks guys.

                  It sure sounds like JPP is what you need. Can you give a more precise description of what you need, maybe with a image?

                  Hi

                    Well, english is not my native language, so I can't explain cuite good what my problem is.
                    But let me try...when I extrude face with JPP, the face it self is ok, but the edges are riped and I can't edit it. Maybe there are settings in JPP that I don't know how to adjust...

                      Could you post your model, so that we can find out what is the issue.

                            I was tryin' just about everything and the best results (and the easyiest way) are when I extrude edges of curved face with "extrude lines along a vector" and then just copy the face.
