Create Skin Kernels

These kernels set variable thickness parameters in the skins of the part

  1. Expand the Skin Kernels tree, and in the first kernel, try the following values, but you may need to modify them for the position of your model:
    • Position: use default X, Y, and Z values to place the kernel at the center of the large hole.
    • Size: 20, 0, 20
    • Peak: 4
    • Kernel Type: Gaussian
  2. Right-click Kernel > Copy Skin Kernel Settings.
  3. Right-click Skin Kernels > Paste Skin Kernel Settings. A second Skin Kernel is created, with the same settings.
  4. Click the second Skin Kernel and set the following values:
    • Position: 10, 16.875 (default), 36.775 (default)
    • Size: 6, 6, 0
    • Peak: 2
  5. Create a third Skin Kernel by right-clicking the second one > Copy Skin Kernel Settings, then right-click Skin Kernels and > Paste Skin Kernel Settings.
  6. In the new third Skin Kernel, change the Position X value to 103.

    If you click Skin Kernels, you should see all three skin kernels, with the smaller side ones aligned in a horizontal plane, and the large center one oriented vertically.

    Feel free to adjust Position values if the kernels do not appear to be symmetrically placed.
