Newbie needs help with partially flatten curved surface

cenzo187 — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 11:16:05 GMT

Hello everyone, I have I think a typical newbie problem I hope you guys can perhaps help me with. I´m trying to recreate a fairly simple cover which is basically a slightly tapered box with an arch on top which has a partially flatten surface. I´ve managed to model the box and the dome on top of it, but I´m really struggling to find the right way to partially flatten both sides of the dome which is essential to make it look like the original (broken) object. I´ll add some pictures of the original cover and will add the Fusion 360 file as well. Hopefully someone can help me out. Many thanks in advance!

Then you just extrude a circle through the top and fillet that edge too.
