I’ve created a Revolution, then want to Subtract it (the only way I could see to subtract a revolve shape).

Instructions say to ‘click okay’, but there’s no ‘okay’ or complete or anything that let’s me finish the task, so I’m stuck at this stage. The only way to get past is to click the x and cancel.

Thanks

In your picture no “removed from” (+) body highlighted.

I can click on the body to have be a + or a -, but it makes no difference, still no option other than Cancel.

Maybe the two bodies don’t overlap?

The only way we can understand where the problem is, is by seeing your project. Can you share it?

Here a quick reconstruction
