Hi everyone!
Could someone please tell me how to incline the bottom surface of a hole? The hole is circular, and there is no offset between the top and bottom surfaces of the hole; the only difference is that the bottom surface is "inclined".
Attached are 2 photos of the example hole I have been asked to create.
Thank you very much,
Javier.
If you want to use the Hole Wizard, you could add an angled plane and selecting that plane as your placement..
So you want the bottom of the hole to be at an angle to the hole? It can be modeled but might be difficult to machine.

Why it would be difficult to machine. We can tilt the head or table and create the hole
Because the hole bottom is not perpendicular to the hole itself? That is the impression I am getting from the pictures and the description. It would require two cuts as far as I know. 1 for the hole, then a second going in with a smaller drill bit to carve out the bottom.
Code Error - 101 - (time for a redesign if that's a chunk of steel ya got there
You can add a reference line, axis or plane and tell the hole to cut in that direction. My SW is locked up right now but I also believe if you use a 3D hole wizard sketch you can dimension or orient the centerline of the hole cutout sketch to cut in the direction you wish. As a third option you can use a side plane for your sketch and use a revolved cut at whatever angle you wish.
That could be done with a Revolved Cut, using a 2d sketch on a plane going through the center of the hole location.
Just a reminder - the Revolve is a good option and may be the best option here, however the Hole Wizard gives you a Hole Call Out on the drawing, where the revolve feature doesn't..
You can also make the hole thru, then use Move Face and rotate the hole.
I am looking for a hole like the one on the right on your drawing i.e a vertical hole (not going sideways) where the bottom surface has a certain inclination. The bottom surface could be inclined in the x,y and z direction.
Thanks so much for the help!
In that case, create a plane at the angle required and use the Up to Surface option.
Both holes shown were created using the Hole Wizard's screw clearance hole.
