Hello Solidworks community,

first of all excuse my English. I could find a answer or threat for my problem so I'm hoping to find some help here.

I bulit a longboard with the surface tool in Solidworks 2014.

I finished the wooden deck so far, but I want to build an infographic of the entire deck. Therefor I want an explosion view of the wood, griptape on the top and fiberglas on the bottom.

I want to copy the surface on the top in a new part give it a 1mm thickness to build the griptape and do the same with the bottom and the sides for the fiberglas, but I cant figure out how to do this.

So far I tried:

1. Surface Offset --> Thickness (1mm) --> Give it another appearance

The problem with this is, that I still have just one part and when I tried to render it the picture complety freaked out.

2. Save Part under a new name --> Surface Offset --> Thickness (1mm) --> delete the wooden part

Then i get the problem that all the reference are gone

Is there any way that insert just the surface information from one part to another?

Thanks!

Best

Nils
