Hi guys,
I'm attempting to reduce the thickness of the spokes circled in blue:
The intent is to make them slightly less thick than the other spokes purely for visual effect, so I'd like to cut about 5mm deep from the face. My first instinct was to wrap a sketch to the face of the wheel, then cut the desired amount. However, when I did that, here was the result:
As you can see, it's a mess. What's the best approach to get the results I want? Attached is the file in question. Thank you in advance!
Use your sketch to create split lines, offset the inside face to the desired amount and use it to cut with or up to. You could potentially use the move face command as well after creating split lines. I would also suggest cutting the wheel into a portion and then patterning it back once you get the desired result.
