2 cilinders into 1

2 cilinders into 1

2 cilinders into 1

(OP)
Does anyone of you know, how I can make 2 cilinders into 1. I'm busy on a intake house of a motorcycle, with two intake valves. Each intake valves start alone, but they must join eachother after a while...

RE: 2 cilinders into 1

Are you creating the intake valves as multiple bodies within a single part or as separate parts in an assy?

I'm making not the valves, only the canals. I try to make them in one part, I have two canals that are running over into each other, only then you see the both circels in each other, so I need to delete that at some way, and then I have 1 piece with 2   3/4 circles, and that piece must go over in 1 circle. Its a little bit hard to explane what I mean, but I hope you get it!

So the two tubes need to go over in 1 tube

RE: 2 cilinders into 1

It looks like you could draw one and mirror it.

RE: 2 cilinders into 1

I wouldent build the ID of the tube, Id first build the OD - combine, then do a shell to get your mat'l thickness.

RE: 2 cilinders into 1

Once you clean out the inside "web" material between your two tubes, you'll need to create a loft from one place (figure 8 shape) to another place (circular).  

Perhaps the best way to do this is to model everything as a solid, such that you're working primarily with your outer surfaces in the beginning (no inside surfaces yet).  Get your two tubes modeled, as you show, but leave them solid and not hollow.  Create your loft to joing the figure 8 shape to your single circular shape (check help files on how to do this properly).

The final step, after all this is done, is to shell your part as Luca83 mentioned.  This will eliminate the webbing between your two tubular forms automatically.

Luca83's idea seems best.

RE: 2 cilinders into 1

Why not build as a solid then shell?
