Extruding Projected Curve

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

Jason,

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

More, because not sure about the shape you want.

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?

RE: Extruding Projected Curve

If your sketch is projected straight along a specific vector, why not just extrude the sketch along the same projection vector until it intersects the cylinder, then subtract or trim body?  I would think this would be no different than projecting curves unless there's a wrapping involved somehow.
