How to create structure around this object?

[3dprinter123a]

What's the best way to create a structure around this object, I want it to be smooth and flowing looking. Can I just sculpt around it and then somehow use the part to cut a hole?

Combine and put some filets on it? 😄

If I combine it then it becomes one piece. I want to put the yellow component tightly fit inside of the grey model around it. The yellow piece is a battery connector and needs to be able to move in and out.

Hi,

Could you please explain more, the name of the post is " How to create a structure around this object " ...

What structure are we exactly talking about? is it a hollow frame derived frame derived from the surface of the yellow component?

Regards

you can also cut with the combine tool. Check "Keep Tools" in the combine tool to keep your connector

You probably need material around the plug so what i'd do is start a sketch on the top face of the plug and project in the outer profile and offset 1 or 2mm then extrude into the gray part, set extrude to joinm make sure you select the inner and outer profile. After you've created a solid boss with the extrude turn the sketch back on and use the inner profile to cut a cavity. You might want to offset the inner profile a small amount to give clearance.

Edit Once you've created the hollow boss you can add fillets to blend it into the gray body.
