Aamir77 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Folks, I want to make the ceiling as that of the example picture attached. I have tried to begin with the primitive tools and specifically the cylinder tool but this tool does not possess the option of making the hole in the slab.

Chopsaw Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Is there a profile in the bottom surface of that Aamir ? Not sure it can be done with the profile and the offset of center hole in Chief. But you should be able to come close if you are willing to give up on of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You need to build 3 rings - No problem. What is the shape of the bottom of them ? Is there a molding or is it flat ? If if is flat then Psolids will work, if not it will be more involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Or am I supposed to be looking at the bulkhead with the vent over it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polyline solid does not work in the circular shape to make a hole in the cylinder. Is there a way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yes no problem, start with two simple cad circles of the correct size and positioning and convert both to Polyline Solids and Set the inner one to be the "Hole in Polyline Solid" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You could also use two cylinders and the Solid Subtraction tool but Polyline solids will give you more control for what you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
