105MM SPHERE with height of 17.5MM

[voopj]

I'm a novice user of Fusion and I'm slowly learning. I'm trying to create a 105mm half sphere with a height of 17.5mm.  I've tried using a cut sphere and a sketch, but I am running into trouble trying to flatten the curve of the sphere.  Any suggestions?

Hi,

What should the structure look like in the end?

something like this?

Hi,

Create a sphere at the origin.

Create an Offset Plane at the distance you want.

Use Split Body command and the plane you just created to split the sphere in two.

Move or delete the bit you don't want.

Cheers

Thanks.. That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Primitives like sphere should only be used as a last resort.  They are not very robust.  Revolve should always be the first recommendation.

Hi,

The start of the origin was perhaps a little misleading.

I hope the screencast clears up any doubts.

Is 105mm the diameter of the full sphere or the diameter at 17.5mm?
