I am looking to create a slide top box to 3D print and I am wondering if there is an easy way to remove the area for the lid tp slide in to. What I have in mind is just drawing the lines around the inside of the box and pushing them in and hoping everything will be consistent. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance!

greetings and welcome,
I hope this serves you, I have made you a box with a sliding lid like the wine houses. I hope it serves you the steps that I show you, but I have understood you well.

This is great, @david.r !
I tried to follow the steps, but I am not sure what you are doing in step 10. It looks like you measure something, but in step 11, all of a sudden, you have the lid.
Could you elaborate what you are doing in step 10 and 11?
hi Tijn,
In picture nine he extrudes the selected sketch profile and in picture ten how far

Ah, thanks for the elaboration.
But where does the lid in picture 11 come from? Is it hand drawn, or is there some magic feature I don’t know about that created it?
that’s how the lid comes to life
he extrudes the profile to create the lid
Look closely at the 9th drawing down and you see the lid profile.
Remember this most important factor: Any flat face can be your next new sketch surface AND you can create “Offset construction planes” parallel to any face to sketch on.
Construction planes can also be moved and rotated.
It’s ALL about your sketches.
I did it! It is quite easy when you know how to do it.
Thanks for the help!
