I have this cube that needs to taper into the round solid at the left. I would like to subtract the 4 slivers in the corners using that plane I revolved to slice through thanks

Plane wasn't the right word to use, sorry. It is not flat, I didn't think slice work on this?

Slice command, click on the cube, then watch the prompt, it will ask for SURFACE, use surface to slice the cube.

I have another solid that I can't seem to slice. I keep getting 'the slicing plane is not intersecting' error.

The reason I wanted to slice this pc is because autocad adds a weird spiky artifact to one side when I STLOUT. I wanted to slice the pc in half, delete the side with the spike, mirror over the good side, and union. When I do that with the above file dwg, I get an 'inconsistent graph vertices' error, any ideas how to get around that?

Which side is bad when STLOUT?  if the part is mirrored, the peg hole will not match what you have now.

The left side is the bad side.

Just wondering if you have had a chance to look at this, I can't get these guys to union no matter what I try, thanks.
