nut

[petdem]

How do i place a edge on the top/bottom nut section on this stem.I tried by using Extrude command and selecting Intersect + 45 degree angle Taper.When i used this combination it places the Taper on the nut but removes the rest of the part.Can this be done or do i need to create the Nut and Taper first and then do sketches/Extrude for the rest.

Cheers....Pete

Always do the Hex extrusion first.
Then the Extrude(s) taper intersection(s)
Then finish the part cylindrical shaft(s).

Your other option is to do a Revolve - Cut on the hex.
