Extrude up to a curved surface

scotS3G9D — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 17:43:18 GMT

Found some solutions here but they don't see to be working for me. I'm trying to move a hole that goes through a curved surface in a step file I received. I created a construction plane and drew where I want the hole to be. But when trying to delete the existing hole, because the surface is curved, I can't use distance and "to object" does not work. I'll attach a pic of the problem area and an f3d file. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, Scot

here's a screen cast of an approach.

FYI-both windows machines and Macs have screen clipping software built in. get a much clearer pic to post that way. and tim berners-lee sleeps better too.

Thank you, guys. Aliobidi, I see it's fixed but I don't see how you did it. Can you tell me so I can understand?

Laughingcreek, thank you, I didn't think of that approach. That was much more elegant. Since I am always trying to learn more about Fusion, is there a way to extrude up to a curved surface? This one is round and also sloped...not sure what the proper way to describe that?
