How do I extend the perpendicular edge of an extrude to an adjacent curved part.

I have an arm sketched on one plane. The arm is extruded to a certain height. The top of the arm is also filleted, but that shouldn't really matter.

At the end of the arm there is a revolved sphere. The vertical face of the extrude does not meet the surface of the sphere due to the curve of the sphere sloping away from the arm. I want to have the end of the arm extend into or to the sphere to make a solid shape. I don't care if it goes into the sphere or just up to the surface. So far, I have not figured out how to connect that gap.

Hi @jonas_rullo

You've shared the the document via a view only link so I'm afraid we can's show you the solutions.

I'd imagine the easiest way would be to use the "Replace Face" tool a bit like this:-

Let us know if you get it to work.

Cheers,

@jonas_rullo the easiest way would be to edit your sketch and extend it further into the attached cylinder. Alternatively use Delete Face to get rid of the small slither faces.

Yeah, that's better, do what Neil said ^^^
