Very nice Pilou


Peace,
Rich_Art. ;-)

thx all for you help!! Quite nice community in here!

@ Pilou: Is it possible you could very shortly describe what you did, stepswise? It look very interesting!

Kind regards,
Peter

Sure :) But it's only one method, surely so many other!



The key for trim anything is that ;)

A curve (surface, volume) for "trim" a volume!
With Trim = the volume stay "Open"
With Boolean Diff the volume stay "Closed"

Above i have only used a curve :)





PS A circle is sufficient even the Diff Booelan here trim the 2 sides of the piece
Just kill after the function the hole that you don't want (it's 3 clicks if it's an inner wall volume, one click if it's a surface ;)

For avoid that you can take a cylinder :)

Hi,
I have managed to produce the model using extruded solids and fillets.
The shelling was a problem but it can be done by shelling
the base and the top section separately
Hope this of some use.
If you want the file let me know and I will post it.

Allright thank you Pilou! super! I feel like my knowledge has been amplified by 3. I thnk it can be amplified by another 6000, but lets go "step by step" :-)

@ Barry-H: Thank you to! It would be nice indeed to post your file, just so I can learn from it (yeah i'm addicted to knowledge :-) )

Greetz!
