Cthunicorn Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Afternoon, This is my first time on CADTutor and hoping to receive some much needed assistance. For a while now I have been attempting to resolve a a part of my CAD drawing. As seen below I have a 3D Solid. The part circled is result of subtracting a cylinder from the shape. I am now trying to find a solution to make both the above and below edges of the dotted line meet as one while maintaining the curve I have subtracted. Unfortunately, I cannot come up with an answer. I attempted to chamfer the edge but found this at difficulty. Am I going about this wrong? Any help would be appreciated. I hope that I have explained this well. Thanks Quote

JD Mather Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Is this a student project? Sweep two lines as surfaces and the slice. Quote

Cthunicorn Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Here is additional reference of the piece that I am trying to recreate. Quote
JD Mather Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 You will need to Loft rather then Sweep. I would do 1/4 and then mirror twice (you have already done way too much work - use mirrors and arrays for symmetrical geometry). Quote

Thank you! I will try this tonight. I hope I didn't create too much unnecessary work. I only created the largest piece. Everything else was copied or scaled. Quote
