I am trying to make an oloid. View attachment 2338. An Oloid is defined as the convex hull of 2 circumferences of radius R equal to each other, arranged on two orthogonal planes and such that each of the 2 steps to the center of the other. View attachment 2339.

I am trying to make an composite surface feature between those two circular sketches. My solidworks files are below: (I am using an old version of solidworks)


[Note: my file upload for the SLDPRT files results in an "invalid file" error on this forum, but maybe someone can still help]
