I am new here and have a basic question.

I created a sketch on a body showing a cross section and an axis. When I tried to make an revolving cut, it automatically creates 360 solid. I adjusted the revolving angle to a negative angle but it still adds a body rather than subtracting. How can I make a revolving cut?

Thanks

Just create the body, then use the subtract tool to cut it out.

I think you’ll need to make a cutting body and then use the Subtract tool to do the cut.
