Subtract Outside of a Circle
Subtract Outside of a Circle
(OP)
I sketch a circle on a planer face and then want to extrude it into the part with the subtract boolean. Obviously this creates a hole in my part. My desire however is to subtract material outside the circle leaving a solid on the inside, like a boss. Is there a slick way do to this without sketching a 2nd circle or another joined profile that encompasses the original circle and all other features in that plane of the part?

If you could post an image or model, then that may help me understand a bit more.
