Hollowing closing distance
Hollowing is done in two steps: first, an imaginary interior is calculated deeper (offset plus the closing distance) in the object and then it’s inflated back to the specified offset. A greater closing distance makes the interior more rounded. At zero, the interior will resemble the exterior the most.
