HI @ggtoutounji ,

It looks like the Trim/Extend to Face tool would be the correct tool in this case:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Looks like a curved bar to me.

You will most likely have to use the Copy Object functionality to get the face of the bar.

If you Attach the two parts and assembly file here - I can demonstrate the technique.

Edit the tube frame member in the context of the assembly>

Copy Object as surface body the face of the bar.

Use this surface to direct edit the tube.

Thank you, both. I will try to attach the files here. I tried to use Pack and Go but not sure if it worked well. Beside the issue of the first curve, there is an issue with the second one.

Thanks.
