Good evening all,
I am building a box and thanks to the help of some of you
I now need to thing about how to fix the bottom part with the top part. I need to use 4 screws.
Then at the bottom part, I need to have 4 holes where the screws will go through.
The problem I have, the place where I would like to have the hole, thiose parts are curved
In a flat face, I can make an hole, but how can I do that when the face is curved?
In the last attached pictures, I would like to have the hole, between the 6mm cylinder and on the corner of the vertical face, which is, curved
Many thanks for your advised and have a good evening
Draw a cylinder of the right outside diameter, and taller than your box.
Place it where you want the hole.
Then either:
- Make it into a component and use Solid Tools to Subtract it from the box component (using the native solid tools in Pro that will convert the components into groups). Or use a Solid Tools plug-in like Eneroth Solid tools or BoolTools, which preserve components.
Or:
2. Copy your cylinder to the clipboard, open the case component for editing, and paste the cylinder inside it. Then Select the case geometry and the cylinder surface, and use R-click/Intersect Faces/with context. Then clean up the ends of the cylinder to leave a hole.
Repeat for other corners, and any other parts of the case that need the same size hole.
