Shelling the Cups

Click Shell on the Features tab.

The Shell feature is used separately on solid bodies; one shell feature applies to one body.
In the PropertyManager, under Parameters:
1. Select the top face of the smaller cup for Faces to Remove .
2. Set Thickness to 2.
Click OK to hollow out the selected cup by removing the top face and creating 2mm thick thin-walled features on the remaining faces.
Repeat steps 1 through 3, using the top face of the larger cup for the second shell feature.
