Default Flange

Hi Its me again,
I need to make a series of flanges, a flange is a flat ring with holes in it for bolts.
If someone can show me how to make a cylinder with a wall thickness then I might be able to make a flange or maybe it is a disk with a hole in it but the disk needs to be a ble to have thickness as well.
Thanks :cry:

Hi again Peter,

Again, you want Object revolve to make the basic ring shape - revolve a rectangle to make the ring.

Alternatively, you can make an ellipse, set the surface type to poly, surface->make hole, then extrude.

Making holes in the resultant shape is more difficult and might be best done with Jeff's boolean plugin (AC3D licence required).
