Does anybody know if there is a Solidify plug in for 6 or 7?

Solidify? I'm not sure I know what you mean - could you be more descriptive of what you are trying to do?

There isn't one specifically for tS6/7, but there was one for earlier versions.
It wasn't updated mostly because 6 & 7 are able to handle non-solid geometry.
You can find the Solidify plugin here. (http://www.caligari.com/products/trueSpace/ts5/Plugins/free/default.asp?Cate=Free)
Whether or not it works in 6/7 is unknown, use at your own risk.

The goal of Solidify was to put faces where you had holes and to fix wrong geometries. In tS6/7, you have new and better tools like Add Face, or Try To Fix Bad Geometry that will do the job in a better way... so I would say that Solidify is now useless.

As noted, solidify's need is pretty much gone. tS can handle non-solid geometry now (whereas before it caused nasty crashes). And if you did want solid geometry, there are ways to do that in the software itself.


If you want the original plugin (which should still work in the Model side) you can get it here:

If you have a specific problem you aim to solve with the plugin, you could describe it here and maybe folks can suggest ways to achieve the result you are looking for :)


HTH!
