Model needs some parts to be made thicker

[native mica]

I have this model of a character from genshin (which I have never played but my friend likes) but some parts of it are too thin to print any ideas how to make them thicker in CAD?

AI Help

You can use CAD software to adjust the thickness of the thin parts of your model. One approach is to select the thin areas and then use the "Offset" tool to create a thicker version of those areas. Just be mindful of maintaining the overall proportions of the character while making these adjustments. Good luck with your 3D printing project!

benchybot is right - offset or extrude the thin parts of your model

I've messed around in onshape for a while and I can't figure out how to select polygons without selecting the whole model

what tool do I use to select them?

[limpid hearth]

onshape is shit when messing around with raw .stl files
