Impractical process to simulate the shell tool scaffolding action of modelspace.
- Select all faces of the mesh
- Run trueBevel script with a small amount
- Run fix geometry tools script and choose zero area triangles to select the narrow faces
- Invert the selection and delete
- Select all faces – the fix geometry changes the selection mode so be sure face selection is active
- copy selection – not the copy found the bottom of the interface
- flip faces
- invert selection
- static sweep script with average normals unchecked
- scale up or move
- select all and merge vertices coincidence with a small value
