Splitting a circle into equal segments

Hello!

I'm trying to design a cicle segment and i have some issues on it

The segment has the following dimensions

- rectangular cross section of 6mm by 6 cm

- inner radius of 140 cm

- outer radius of 152 cm

 

Now,i can create the circles(concentric) and extrude them to thickness but i don't know to divide the result into 5 equal segments and delete 4 of them to be left with only one segment.

 

Any help is much apreciated!

You probably want to create a circular sketch pattern of 5 segments and then use the Split Body command to create one segment.  I think I am interpreting you correctly.  Model is attached.

I am totally confused on your required dimensions.  Your specs in your post say centimeter Radii, your Circle model you attached in millimeters and it is showing your specs as diameters but no matter, the process is the same.  Take a look at the Screencast.  By the way, you can always learn any process someone used to create a model by dragging the timeline backwards and move one step at a time forward.

This would be easier to generate with Revolve. Just sketch the cross-section and revolve it by 360/5 degrees - no need to fuss with splitting up anything.

Any good reason not to model just the fifth you need?
