I'm not sure how to word this question correctly, so I'm going to provide some pictures first off to help visualize this.
Here are some views of what I'm creating: http://imgur.com/gallery/un9dX
Ok so basically I am trying to create some spokes that are extruding out of the cylinder in the middle.
Here's what I tried, in picture form first: http://imgur.com/gallery/683FN
As you can see, I made a sketch of the spokes, and then extruded them to the next surface. All is fine, except for the glaring fact that the spokes are extruding out of the body, and I don't want that!! I tried cutting the extrusions out, but it just left some unsightly holes that ruin the whole design.
Please help me with this problem! I can provide anything needed to help, such as the solidworks file or pictures of the real world object.
Sorry if I missed anything that I should've included in the post, I am new here.
Hey,
It seems you're selecting the plane6 as the end surface. In this case the feature will be cuboid and of course it'll come out of the curved surface..
Create sketch on the Front plane and extrude it upto the curved surface you want. Gives good result. Later you can pattern it.
