How to add a flange at an angle?

mads_berg392

Hello,

I am doing one of my first designs, and I am struggling to add a flage (20mm wide, 4mm thick) on the inside of my cylinder at the top which is cut at 45 degress. I have experimented to put in an additional plane in at the 45 degrees but have not succeeded. Please guide on a way forward.

Thanks

Mads

You create a solid cylinder, up to a 45° plane or you cut it at 45 degrees. Then you shell it at say 2,5mm tickness, removing both end faces. Then you do a second shell removing just the inner cylinder face by say 0,5mm. Done. Takes 20 seconds. You can then modify the dimensions e.g. by means of the move face tool or others.

You can also put a sketch on the cut face, offset the perimeter by the desired amount and extrude along the axis using the "direction" option. If you want it 4mm thick you can either do the math based on the angle, add a reference to a sketch for an "up to" end condition, or do a move face (up to with offset) afterwards…

Thanks for the quick responses. I will now look into the details to fully understand and learn from the examples. Much appreciated
