In the context of 3D modeling with , a "solid post" (or a solid object from a plane) can be drafted using the following primary methods: 1. Using the Solidify Modifier
: Select the plane and press Tab to enter Edit Mode. Select All : Press A to select all vertices/faces. 124793
: Press F to create a new face, sealing the volume to make it "manifold" (water-tight).
This method directly creates new geometry to form a 3D volume.
This is the recommended non-destructive method to give thickness to a flat plane. : Click on your plane in Object Mode. In the context of 3D modeling with ,
: By default, extrusion follows the normal of the plane (typically the Z-axis for a ground plane). 3. Filling a Hollow Shell
