Holes in Revolved Surface
Holes in Revolved Surface
(OP)
I have a fairly simple revolved surface. Lets pretend it is a coffe can complete with ridges for the sake of conversation. I want to put a 1" hole thru this surface. An example for location would be- if the coffe can was in a vise with its vertical axis perpendicular to the back jaw- I want to drill (draw) a hole straight thru it from top to bottom. This seems like it should be easy but I can't get any features to be available for poking a hole in this puppy.
Thanks,
Steve

RE: Holes in Revolved Surface
If I understand the way you have the can positioned, I would make a plane in the center of can making it parellel to direction of the hole. Then make the sketch in the Center of the Can and cut-Extrude using a Mid-plane. Make the Distance wide enough to where it cuts both sides (if that is what you desire).
I hope that helps,
