Help with intersecting 2 pieces?

SketchUp Pro
1

Hi everyone. I am trying to recreate a leg for a sofa and it will be out of metal. I have attached 4 images. The first image is of the leg I want to recreate followed by 3 other images as to how I went about it , but, It is all wrong I know :slight_smile: I tried using bool tools to intersect the 2 pieces so it looks like one piece but could not figure it out ARGH! I think its pretty simple but, not sure what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Thank you

Jay

Looks good to me. Just erase the lines you don’t want.

The Outer Shell Tool ought to work on them directly. Or Union.
If you model for render not manufacturing, you really only need the two outer faces as normally you won’t need to create views from under the sofa.
