Re: Half-Hole Radii on a titled suface

Thank you immensely to all three of you guys. chrisb: I like the fact that you gave step-by-step instructions, I will go over them and see if I can start it on offset rather than the outside edge. You missed the high-light instructions - "If the pipe breaks out to the (outside) vertical surface...

I am trying to get 12 half-hole grooves symmetrically spaced like spokes in a wheel on a rotational tilt. I have two questions: 1. How do I get more than one, I need 12 of them @ 30* separation? Polar construction doesn't work. 2. How do I get the grooves to follow the tilt angle of the revolution? ...

Re: Problem with Gear Teeth in the side of a simple cylindere

Opps!

I wanted the 8 semicircles at right angle to what you have shown, so they are lying within the curved face. So it would look lie the spokes of a wheel.
