Trim

[nicnicman]

How can I trim the "pipe" exactly at the "cylinder"?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Make a copy of the Cylinder and then Subtract it from the Pipe. Make sure the Cylinder is a Solid though. It looks like it was created using Revsurf?

[nicnicman]

It was created using Revolve.

use slice with the surface option then select the cylynder as your slicing plane

SLICE

Select objects to slice: 1 found

Select objects to slice:

Specify start point of slicing plane or [planar

Object/Surface/Zaxis/View/XY/YZ/ZX/3points] : S

Select a surface:

Select solid to keep or [keep Both sides] :

nocturn will that work if he has a solid. should he select Object?

no, that option is to select your slicing plane

slicing did not work for my in 07. I made the large cylinder a solid and a circle with thickness and a loft. The only way it would work for me with the tubing as a solid object was to use the boolean operations.

The cylinder (w/c is the slicing object) was made using revolve as nic stated so its a surface, not a solid,

it can work as a surface when slicing solids

doesnt revolve make a solid and revsurf make a surface?

 

im not sure what i did lately but my solid extrusion look like his cylinlder with multiple defining lines that in 2d shade mode look like a surface.

[nocturne00]

when you revolve a single polyline, you get a hollow surface

Revolving a single polyline also works in making sufaces.

See here

I ended up revolving as a poly line to make a solid. Then copied the cylinder in the same place and used the subtract command.

 

Thanks everybody!
