Things to consider when using thin walls

You can thin wall a part more than once. In some cases, you might find it easier to construct a part using multiple thin wall features rather than using profile-based features. For example, you can thin wall a solid box to create a bracket.

You can then add a protrusion feature to the bracket, and

then add a second thin wall feature to hollow the interior of the bracket.
