I am trying to model an existing part, but I can’t seem to get a groove cut into my cylinder. At this point I don’t necessarily need to taper either end of the groove I would be happy just to get a goove of the appropriate length, width and depth. I have tried creating a rectangle with dimensions of the groove I wish to cut, made it a group and placed it on the cylinder and tried to intersect the faces. No go.
I have attached a picture of the part I am trying to model. If anyone is able to help It would be most appreciated. I am also unable to locate “Joint Push Pull” or “Tools On Surface” in the extension warehouse.
