Intersecting a Curved Face

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 22:39:59 GMT

I have a dish like surface with a series of cut outs\scallops around the outside. I would like these to be flush with the smooth outer surface, but have not found a way to do this as yet. I have fiddled with fillets but these don't really work to smooth the surface. What is the technique I am missing and is there a tutorial or help I can be pointed at please?

First question on the forums, apologies if its already been answered but I'm not sure of the technical phrases as yet so my searching isn't returning answers.

Kind Regards

Jim

Just after posting I thought about extruding the face of the scallop beyond the edge and using the original sketch to cut back to the curve. This works but I'm still intrigued to know if you can extrude up to a curved edge?

Kind Regards

Press/Pull plus Split body will do this. Extrude|To Object would create straight faces instead of curved on the inner portion but would follow the main body.

Thanks for the help, I can Push\Pull to the edge, which brings the scallop level with the top but beyond the surface of the lower section. I see no option in that tool re Split body? Could you point me in the right direction please?

I am not sure what "Screencast will be displayed here after you click Post." means?

Apologies for my naivety.

This one is what I think is missing,

Was in the library earlier, but can't check if it works in here.

"Screencast will be displayed here after you click Post." means @etfrench posted a screen cast for you , but the forum software ate it (again).

Once he re-posts its I bet it answers the other questions you were just asking.
