Hi, I want to apply a surface cut to a body to further reduce the volume (weight) of a part. I would like the cut to carve out a dome-like shape from the part while maintaining tangency to the existing face near the edges of the cut.
In the picture below, the boundary sketch that should define the edge of the cut is highlighted.
How can I make this surface so that the surface cuts evenly?
draw a point in a 3D sketch somewhere in the part that represents the peak of the dome. Then make a Fill surface from the sketch boundary with the point as the constraint sketch. Then use the boundary sketch to extrude a surface out of the part. Then knit the extrude and the fill. Then use Insert/cut with surface.
