How do I get a .31 dia x .15 deep dimple into the top of a .31 x .6 cylinder

I have no idea of what is a dimple!

It's this ?

Does this help

Dimple is made with a ball mill

Would you also tell me how to do it?

thx Marv

Hi Marv, there are a couple of different ways - you could create a sphere and then draw a horizontal line in the front view and trim the sphere by the line to make a dimple surface, or you could rotate your arc you have there by 90 degrees in the Front view, and then run the Construct > Revolve command. In the Revolve command, set the Angle to 180 and uncheck "Cap ends" before placing the axis points:








Or another way is to draw a 90 degree arc in the front view and revolve it by 360 degrees to make your hemisphere.




If you don't need to make a hemisphere, I'll probably need to see a clearer image because the one you posted above seems very fuzzy and I can't really see anything there.

AH ok! A capsule?
The more funny is this one! ;)

Draw your cylinder
Kill the top face
Cut in twice the top circle
Select the 2 arcs circle
Call Transform Blend Function!
Play with the cursor slider or input values
(you can use negative values for "inside" dimple! )
