I want to connect the pipes in this heat exchanger.

mario_darceuil

I want the ends on the left to be connect with a funnel at the top and the ends on the right to be connected with a drain to the bottom. I attempted to draw lines then sweep them to make pipes but I couldn't get the lines oriented because I don't understand how the faces work. Please help.

Did you forget to include a link to a public version of your document?

I did send the link I wonder as to what happened. Please help.

@mario_darceui,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to add inlet and exhaust headers (or manifolds) to your heat exchanger.  Does https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0794954faac694a1fa4d98ee/w/d26b4976ec3e2bfd9f21cc9d/e/52f521f504604ea608849705 achieve what you are trying to accomplish?

I added Sketch3 on the top plane and extruded that downward to create the drain header on the right-hand-end.  You could add the inlet header to that sketch as well.  Extrude5 and Extrude6 utilize that same sketch to trim the tube intersections.

Also note that I fully constrained Sketch1 in your model, placing the center-line inline with the origin.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

-Matt

I resent the link, along with the attached screenshot (Capture.jpg) of a section view.  Let me know if you can open this.
