How to remove a wedge of material?

stuart_mcgregor · January 7

Hello,

I am trying to make a wall mount bracket and am working on the female part. I am trying to make something similar to the image attached, but with some changes. The current part I am struggling with is making the wedge space for my mount to rest on. I have side wedges to slide on, but wanted the superior wedge for more support. How can I remove that material?

Here is a picture of my document so far.

And here is a link: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0939e97424f9a2af7d56ee65/w/8ac6052280aebc9ff56101d2/e/e174fe47eae5662442d99101?renderMode=0&uiState=677c9f2b775510738e882509

I am an amateur and just getting into this as a hobby, so I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for your help!

I think this is what you're looking for.

Glen, thanks for your response. I am not making that male part yet, but will be much easier now with you help there. What I am trying to do is remove material from the surface highlighted in the image here:

I would like a wedge removed like at the sides to have 3 surfaces of weight bearing for the section that will then be screwed to the wall.

As a side note, I have also been struggling with making the grey section on my document a solid object (that section is currently hollow). It seems you were able to do that as it is blue and not grey. How were you able to make that work?
