Hello All
I am trying to use the Boolean option to cut out a section of my drawing. Cutter Drainer Board V1.c2d (44 KB)
To me this should be pretty basic but for some reason i seem to be screwing it up. What i have in my drawing is a rectangle and a circle.I have over lapped the circle into the top left corner. I would like to cut out the far left of the rectange that comes after the circle. The effect i am after is the top left will be curved rather then square.
Everything i do does not work. I under stand the difference between orange and blue lines.
i have also tried to add in a node to cut the left corner out.
But for some reason i am screwing this up and not really sure why.
Any help on this would be great. i am fairly new to this so if possible send me a step by step list of what i need to do would be great.
Thank you so much for this. yes the corner tool is much faster and easier to use.
much appreceated. i may have more questions on this simple drawing but i will come back to you if that is ok.
Hello William
i am still working on this little project. i want to add some lines running across the board, but for some reason i can’t get them to join, so this is leaving me with open vectors. i have done this in the past so i am not sure what i am doing wrong. any suggestions.

the attachment should show 2 lines going accrose the board in purple.
What is it you’re trying to do with the 2 lines? Is the circle cut lower than the rest of the part? And are you trying to add an area between the lines that is also at the same depth as the circle?
If so, instead of making 2 lines, make a rectangle & boolean Unite/Union/Weld with the circle.
If you’re just etching/engraving the 2 lines, then they don’t need to be joined.
Are you considering “ramps” to drain liquid down to the circle? I can’t tell what you’re trying to do.
If it’s ramps you want, I have a pretty cool technique that works that doesn’t require fancy modeling…but does require a graphics tool (like photoshop or paint, etc.) - you make a dark gray to light gray gradient and paint the inside of a rectangle and import it into CC as a relief map…and it will provide you perfect gradual ramps. You can see, in this example that the bottom right corner is slightly darker than the lower left corner…when you import this into modeling, it creates a very subtle, but effective ramp.
Good eye, Gary. Guess it helps to actually read the name of the file!!!
OK, so the circle is a juice receptacle, and the lines are the juice grooves. Assuming the additional lines are also juice grooves, you don’t need them joined.
Here’s what it would look like with the gradient. I used a 1/2" ball & exaggerated the slope so it’s obvious. I also moved the 2nd cross line down so it didn’t intersect the circle.
