Parameters:

thicknessfloat, optional: The mesh thickness. This should be a positive value.

Returns:

compas.datastructures.Mesh: The thickened mesh.

Raises:

ValueError: If thickness is not a positive number.

Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_vertices_and_faces([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0]], [[0, 1, 2, 3]])
>>> mesh.thickened()
