Combine two pipes with special

[ehsanbh1]

I would like to combine a pipe to another pipe which has an orifice in the middle. The idea is to not block the flow. I tried Combine commend with no success. Can you please give me some tips?

Try creating rods instead of pipes, then use the shell command to remove the insides. Make sure you join the rods before you shell them, and select all three end surfaces when you shell.

This will work if your pipes feature uniform wall thickness- otherwise, you might use the Sketch Profile to Cut or Slice and Remove the protruding smaller portion of tubing, then Combine Cut the smaller from larger tube, and Remove to discard the portion left filling the small tube.

I'll remind that the habit of Creating Components and Naming Your Stuff will serve you moving forward.    Sketches, Bodies, Constructions, whatever- name everything when created.

Is this what you want?

Also search for R.U.L.E. #1 here on the forums. You should be using components for this.

Thanks! This works when the thickness for the wall is the same everywhere. I can use this solution and then add my orifice afterwards.

I made it worked as you suggested, thanks!
