Mental Blank???
Mental Blank???
(OP)
Hi All, I am having a problem trimming an extrusion that sits on an angled plane. I can explain with a simple example. A simple extrusion like a cylindrical bush and through that bush I have created a plane at a complex angle across it's diameter. On that plane I draw another extrusion say 3mm thick which extends outside the bush. How do I trim it back to the corrrect shape indide the bush so I can have the part made. Maybe a simple answer but have just gone blank. Maybe i am just an old guy with "old timers disease"!!!
Thanks
Thanks

Don't trim the bush back to the complex plane, use the second extrusion sketch to cut the material away, the way it would be done in the machine shop, using the Flip side to cut option.

If an assy you can use the zero offset surface as a trim tool.
If a part, you could extrude-cut the ID from both ends of a solid bush, using the complex plane as the Up to surface and Offset from surface options to create the angled "web".
