Creating Vent on a Square

[oystein.l.l]

how do i make this instead of cutting all the way through to cut at an angle making a vent? i hope im making sense..

Do you want to cut along an angled line? Then draw that line in a sketch and use Sweep to cut. Do you want to cut with a tapered angle? Then you have that option in the same Extrude dialogue.

i want a taper angle but from one side, extrude doesent do that, also sweep cut i have never used im pretty new to designing.. appreciate the help!

Hi, 

see this

howdy

[oystein.l.l]

thats not exactly what im looking to do, im going to create a vent for the square hull body on the side profiles, i can show picture example

[oystein.l.l]

i wanted to create scoops for the square hull body on all side faces, example here like the scoops vents for airplanes, basically vent scoop for the square body on all side faces

Still not sure about your requirement, but I am guessing it's one of these:

Then I think Sweep is the right tool. Check the one I attached in my previous post. You only need to make a path for the sweep. It can be sketch line, as I did in my file. But also you can do your normal extrude cut and later add a Draft on the faces (again like I did in my file, but only for one face).

no. i want a angle on bottom and a angle downwards from the top i can draw it 🙂

Draw it on a sketch on the side plane and extrude cut it:

Or use Draft twice.

Hi,

Targeted references require an insight into the current design.

Please share the file.

Is something like this what you are attempting to do (see Attached file)?

[oystein.l.l]

Yes exactly just both should be symmetrical, looks good how did you do it?

[oystein.l.l]

Also how do you get a view inside half the model? Always wondered that!

Not sure what this means?

I just followed your hand sketch.

Can you create another hand sketch that more clearly shows your symmetry Design Intent?

Examine the Timeline.

The history of how I did it is recorded in the Timeline.

Thank you so much for the help and time to explaining
