Hello everyone ! I am designing a metal part which has a loop shaped groove inside it. I am not able to figure out how to design that loop. Here are some reference pictures of the groove. ![IMG_6328](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/f/4/f41ddad3006c0faf64e397efce61acaa1e55a992.jpeg) ![IMG_6329](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/c/4/c42e5ae69846c9518a2d86d0e0876ca201d294ce.jpeg) ![IMG_6331](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/6/e/6eef6ddc605940d373cd8cf87a4a33c3891fee35.jpeg) ---

Revolve 2 pipes 180 degrees with the height and diameter you need (internal diameter of the tube and total height of the groove), One clockwise one anticlockwise and union them. ---
