[Nozzle.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/2Bn9Iww8qsjiOAQfvFs48jCBwYg.skp) (431.2 KB) I am trying to model a crevice tool for my Rigid Vacuum. In the attached file is a picture from Home Depot’s website of what I am aiming for. Also in the file are the two objects I am trying to combine. I am totally clueless how to do this, I tried a bunch of different things, but none came close to what I wanted. As always, any help from the SU community will be greatly appreciated. ---

I would suggest that you: 1 - Reorient your model so gthat the blue axis points up instead of down. 2 - Use Perspective Camera instead of Parallel Projection. 3 - Realign the two parts with the axes. Actually they are all skewed about all the axis and are not aligned correctly together. See this SU file.

I suggest that you start from scratch. Click in sequence on the scenes tabs of this SU file for ideas.

Jean - thanks for the suggestions and taking the time to provide the step by step instructions. This will work just fine.
