    Hi francesco aloschi,

     

    Create different components and move each set of surfaces to specific components and assign properties with desired thickness to it. As described below.

    i don't know wht buy it doesn't work. this was my procedure:

    1)i created two new components 

    2) i created two new properties but in property card i don't know how select the right surface (or better the elements in the surface that need to have 2.5 or 3mm thickness)

    so when with f10 i check if i assigned the right thickness it doesn't appear

    You need to move the elements to the new components using Organize panel in the Tool page. Then, you assign respective properties to the new components.
