Help with my mistakes

[batmanfan]

So I did REALLY well with this attempt (like 9th try) on my model… I’m a beginning trying to 3D print a model for a part for work that would make my life a lot easier. I would appreciate if someone could help me. I’ve redrawn it with different dimentions over and over

1. I deleted the idea inside of what should be a conical rim
2. I need to extend the ‘top circle’ of the two circles that I drew by half the width of the thickness of the circle wall itself…

I don’t want to draw it over again because I lost the paper with the dimentions that I used

Create a cross section of the wall and use the Follow Me tool with a circle (I used 96 segments for the circle):

Is there any way to find the EXACT dimensions of the outside of the bottom wall? That’s the whole reason why I don’t want to re-draw it… Also, that looks like it would take 15 seconds. I wish I had known/done that.

If you use the Section Tool (or Tools > Section Plane), you can get create a section through the model at the origin:

Selecting the plane and right-clicking:

Deleting everything except for the new section:

I modified the profile that resulted and used it with the Follow Me tool. This preserves your original dimensions.

After a lot of random clicking and pleading with the Sketchup gods, I think I was able to re-create what you explained. I think I’m done! Can’t wait to 3D print it tomorrow and see if it’s any good! Thanks a million! Also be warned… you teach a man to fish… and he will be back with more fishing questions.

Good tip @jimhami42, something new for me too.
