How can I scoop a groove out of a cylinder?
HELP?!

Make another cylinder. Go into Boolean Operation, make the first cylinder operand A and the second operand B. Perform a Subtract A-B operation.

I mean a circular groove that goes 360 around the circle

Make a toroid by rotating an ellipse around an axis 360 degrees and use that as operand B?

captainj2410 · 20th June 2006, 11:20 AM

When you tried to create the toroid or when?
