Making pockets

[georgeENF84]

Hello: I drew my odd shaped part I press pulled it to its thickness I put in all the assorted holes press pulled them so they look like holes through the part now I am trying to put in the pockets for the various components that fit inside the part, some of the pockets overlap the outside edge of the part I think this is where I am getting in trouble. I have used Gibbscam quite a bit and some times you have to disconnect the lines to make different operations work, one of the pockets I made I can see that it moved the line the correct distance into the part but it did not give me the 3d look because I think the original outside line was still there ..... anyway... help me obywonknobe your my only hope 🙂

Hi @georgeENF84,

Is what you want to just use that sketch rectangle to cut into the block?

Here is a screencast showing how to do that, either to the bottom (where the sketch is), or the top of the block
