Portable Air Cooler

mario_darceuilmario_darceuil Member Posts: 113 ✭✭
I am designing the heat exchanger for the portable air cooler. I want to extrude the 4 circles through all of the heat exchanger fins and replace the circles with tubes going through all of them. Please show me how to accomplish this feat.

    Your best place start is to go through the Onshape fundamentals self-paced course: https://learn.onshape.com/learn/learning-path/onshape-fundamentals-cad

    You will want to extrude your fins as solid parts and then using the power of a Part Studio you could extrude the tubes to go through the fins and connect everything. Sections 2,3, and 4 of the fundamentals CAD pathway are where you want to look.

    I tried everything; Up to face; etc, but I couldn't figure out the merge command. The fins are not touching but I want to extrude  4 holes that go through all of them after which I''ll do and extrusion as a new part for pipes that go through the holes, Please help.

    You've patterned a bunch of sketches - they need to be solid parts before you can make holes in them. Please review the free training videos.
