I have offset a surface 0.5mm from the main model. So the surface is floating above the model. What command do I use to connect the surface to the model?
Considering it is a curved surface so I cannot extrude it conventionally like normal.
Hello,
Create an offset surface with dimension 0mm, then select the surface and select Insert -> Boss -> Thicken. Of course you can thicken your 0.5mm surface as well, to the opposite direction.

I don't know of an automatic way to do this. One way that comes to mind id the following:

You can use thicken with the offset surface you have already created. Just make certain you thicken in the direction of the main model if your goal is to make a single body. You will need to thicken by at least 0.5 mm to reach the model, but I would suggest going a little farther so your new feature overlaps the main model slightly. If you use 0.5 mm to thicken, you might encounter an error where the new feature joins the main model.
Can you do a THICKEN SURFACE
