Modeling a Repad

Bobfromoh · Mar 17, 2015

I have a spherical tank with nozzle connections.
The nozzles have reinforcing pads. I con't know
how to make the repad. Is there a tutorial somewhere
that might help explain the steps to adding repads to
a solid model. The repad has to conform to the
base metal shape. I checked the internet but didn't
see anything that helped?

thanks,

Are the repads offset from the spherical surface and also spherical or flat faced?
If flat faced, create datum planes then extrude to the spherical surface.
If spherical, use an offset surface of the original, trimmed to the shape and extruded.
