      I am trying to create a helicopter canopy and have attached image. Is there a way to add thickness to it? It was created by being the reminant of a "boolean" of a scaled sphere and other geometry.

        Hi,

        Fredo's Joint Push/Pull plugin allows you to thicken organic shapes like this. Head over to the plugins forum and check out either the plugin index thread or the visual index thread.

        Or you could use the search function.

        When using this tool just press the tab key to change the options from 'erase original' to 'thickening'

        Hope this helps
