Extrude hole through surface body


joes

Recommended Posts

Draw down your base and turn into a 3d solid.

Draw your circle on the top face.

click extrude and select the circle and specify your distance.

use "subtract" and select the main body, right click (or enter) then select the cylinder Circle you have extruded.)

Ahhh, it says autocad in your profile.

Thats cool though.

 

When you have your base surface start a new sketch and mark points to where you would like your holes to be and then use the hole wizard.

 

I dont have solidworks here so i cant give you an image.

Im sure Matt will be along soon. He and Jd are the SW gods of CadTutor. lol

Hi all

 

Can any1 tell me how to extrude a hole through a surface body

 

First of all, do you have a surface body or a solid body?

 

For surface body use a circle to split the surface and then delete face.

 

For solid body use a circle and extrude with cut option or use hole wizard.

 

Have you gone through the Help>Tutorials?

If you have a surface body just create a sketch of your circle where you want it(on a plane off of your surface). Use the extruded surface option to extrude your circle as a tube(no wall thickness) and not a solid extrude. Once you have both surface bodies you can use the Trim Surface button. Select your tube as your trim tool, select the remove selection option and click in the center of the tube on your surface(it will highlight). After that i select my "tube" and hide it.
