cannot select rib face

[sudiebhagwandin]

Hi, 

Total beginner here, trying maybe more that he should.

I have made some ribs on a body (the upper housing of a diff case)

I want the rib side faces to have a bit of an angle to simulate the casting release angle.

the axis of rotation should be the diagonal on each face.

I think my problem lies in the fact that my ribs were created from a single line (as done in the videos I saw on ribs)

which means there is no face to select?

I'v attached my progress thusfar.

the diff I'm making:

thanks, but filleting will be done later, after I have set the angle of the face.

all this talk of ribs and fillets is making me hungry!

Hi @sudiebhagwandin 

If I understand you correctly you want to add a draft angle to the rib side faces?

try the draft option from the modify drop-down menu

Thanks

Yesssss!

Thank you!

it seems I need to select the top of the flange.

Noob thinking error.

Hi @sudiebhagwandin 

it seems I need to select the top of the flange - yes, it used as a reference plane 

It seems like you are making very good progress!

thanks
