Adding a flat surface to a Cylinder

Anonymous — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:59:22 GMT

hey guys,

i need to figure out how to add a flat part onto my cylinder, its so a bolt can go through the hole and instead of sitting up against a round surface it will sit flush with a flat one.

any idea?

Subtracting or Union an extruded rectangle will do the trick I think.

Can you post your drawing ?

I agree with @-FDC- that a box could be subtracted from the cylinder face. I don't know the exact sizes or orientation but I made a quick video that I hope helps with the process.
