Creating a groove along an arc?

ray_pinot

Hi, I'm working on an incline with a curved drop that has a groove through the center to create a track. But I cannot figure out how to create the groove along the curved section.



I'm sure there's a simple thing that I am missing. Can anyone point me toward an answer?

Thanks in advance!

If I were to do that, the first thing that comes to mind would be to draw a sketch that has a matching arc you want to cut in the Right plane and then I would apply an Extrude > Remove command to cut that groove out. You might need to offset the plane a bit, I believe that would be it.

You could use a sweep to bring the groove through.
