Hi
I am still trying to learn.
I am trying this project, and two bodies overlap, and part of one body should be removed, I tried intersect, but obviously it's either the wrong tool, or I am doing it wrong.
Please take a look at the images, and the attched file.
The attached file has errors, because I removed other bodies to lighten the file, if needed I can attach the full file.
Thank you

Hello,
Offset outer surface of triangle shaped body with zero offsets.
Use offsetted surface to cut with surface.
Thank you both.
I see two approaches (kind of), perhaps Tateos' is more time saving; perhaps body-delete is a good action?
I am sure there is a quick way of doing this for similar (circular pattern) instances, but for now I am happy as it is, repeting the steps will help me more in learning.
As per the correct answer, I really have hard time picking one, any suggestion?
@Scott
Yes I had noticed that, and had a feeling it could be the culprit.

"Cut with Surface" is a good feature to use for one cut and you would have to repeat that 5 times in your model. Utilize patterning, hence intersect is the better choice. You could pattern the fin and the surface at the same time
A body delete is to remove the surfaces you used to create your geometry and get them out the way. Just hiding them is not a good work flow.
Try combine to join them together then use the "delete surface / patch" command from the surfacing toolbar. Select the faces you don't want and the model will be updated.
Thank you both.

Indeed I thought the reason was that.
Really appreciated the extra effort.
