This is not easy for me

This should be easy, but I'm new at this.
I have a 5.225Ø cylinder a few inches long.
I want to subtract a sphere from one end of it so that it is left with a 5
1/2" radius. Domed.
I think I'm making my ipt too complicated.
Any help?

Thanks
MIke

Is this what you're looking for?

1. Make the sketch for the cylinder
2. Extrude it to create the cylinder itself
3. Make a new sketch in a prependicular plane so it can cut in a spheroidal
way the end of the cylinder
4. Create a CUT Revolution

I hope it can help.

Hi Mike,

Sorry I don't quite get it, but it sounds something can be done. Can you
give a 2D sketch to illustrate what you want?

Thanks,
Chun Du

If what alf suggests dosen't work for you you could create two IPTs cylinder and sphere. Position them any which way you like in an assembly and derive it with subtract selected on the sphere. This method will create two extra files though. Thanks.

I was having trouble that I thought was in the work planes, but it turned
out to be in the sketch.
Thanks for your help.
