Radial Features

Dec 03, 2009 1 Replies

I am struggling to figure out how to make features radially (extrusions & cuts). I am working with cylindrical parts that must mesh with each other in a cam/gear like mechanism. For the parts to align properly the features must all work out radially from the part. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance. Jaeger


Suppose you create a thin shell polygon coaxial with your base cylinder, then sketch the profiles of the radial features on the flat faces of the polygon and extrude them. There are multi-body tools for trimming the excess extrusion.
