Hello, I was wondering if someone could explain how I could design the following object (attached). I am comfortable making the ring but cannot figure out how to make the trapezoid part. If you can please provide step by step directions, I would sincerely appreciate it!
Thank you very much for your help!
Mike,
That is a pretty simple part. Post what version of Solidworks you are using and I am sure someone can model it for you to see how it is done quicker than typing a step by step.
Cheers,
Derek
Hi Derek,
Thank you very much. I am using SolidWorks Premium 2013.
Thanks,
Mike
I am still on the 2012 version so I cant help with actual model. If no one else chimes in I will try and do a step by step when I get back to the office on about an hour.
Thank you Derek, I really appreciate it!
I'm using SW2015, so you wouldn't be able to open my model, but I just used a mid-plane Extrude for the trapezoid (and a fillet on the edges), and a Sweep for the ring. Is this what you wanted?
Why indent?

Just to remove the interference. How would you have done it?
This looks great! How did you sketch the trapezoid? Was is a rectangle that you did extruded and then did a draft on?
Thank you!

No, I didn't use draft. I started with a rectangle sketch and removed the vertical relations from the vertical lines, and added the vertical construction line that's coincident with the midpoints of the horizontal lines to keep it symmetric. Then added the dimensions.
Worked perfectly, thank you so much Glenn!
