help with extrude

ofir_shapira

Hi
I wanted to add a tank on the tube that i build so I make an extrude (remove) and a extrude (add) but when I did it the tank started from the middle of the tube and not from the outside of it.(like in the pictures)
How can I fix it?

the first option was the same as before

thanks

Hi @ofir_shapira, I'm still not cleat exactly what you need but I believe your sketch is located on the plane in the middle of the tank?  Is that correct?  If so that is why the tank starts there.

What I was suggesting is to make a new plane outside the tank.
(a) Create new plane outside tube. Use the "offset plane" with the existing plane in the tank as the reference to offset from.
(b) Create a new sketch on this plane with the rectangle on it.
(c) Extrude this rectangle "up-to" the tube.

Feel free to share the document and I'm sure you'll get the help you need.

@ ofir_shapira  , It sounds like you want to remove inside material from the tube. If so then
1. select extrude- make it "remove" (by default it will be "add"
2. select the the face which wanted to remove(select the face which highlighted in second image).
3.select the option "Through all" from the drop down menu.
4. press green button from dialog box.

If I understand you correctly:-

(1) You could make the tank with the sketch outside the tube then use "extrude up to part" or "extrude up to face" option.
or
(2) Keep what you have and use another extrude remove to get rid of the bit you don't want.

Cheers,

Hi @owen_sparks  I think you don't correctly understand the tank has the tube shape(it isn't rectangle) and I want that it will be on the tube and not inside it
thx.
