Extruding Projected Curve
Extruding Projected Curve
(OP)
Hi,
I have a cylinder body in which I projected a sketch profile onto it. How can I get the projected curve to extrude or subtract onto the cylinder body and maintain the projected profile?
Thanks

RE: Extruding Projected Curve
You could probably use Subdivide Face to create a surface on the cylinder bounded by the projected curve. You can then select that face as your extrusion reference and extrude it by a distance or upto a surface reference.
Another way would be to just extrude your planar curve profile upto a surface offset from the cylinder face.
There are also probably a few more ways.
There are many ways to skin a Feature.

RE: Extruding Projected Curve
After mjcole's recommended Extrude - Offset Surface of outer face, trim extrusion to create a cylinder floor.
Extract Sheet, Trimmed Sheet, Thicken then Subtract.
Will pocket work?
