Subtract shape from inside solid

[moot]

yes, affirmative!
I'm still trying to figure it out... I've got the cores separated as solids and am following the directions (from SketchUp https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000100, Subtracting one solid from another (or use Intersect Faces with Model) section). Is that the procedure I should be using? or should I be using Trimming one solid with another section? Problem with the Trimming is that I don't have Pro.

Well, I thought I almost had it... subtracted the horizontal core from the vertical core where they intersected, manually patched up the 'open faces'... BugSplat!

I'm taking a break now... go see if the Coyotes are still prowling around the goat shed... pick some eggs... see if I can clear my head...

Just saw your post pilou... thanks

Moot: I can show you "live" how I did it but it'll have to wait until I get home from work this afternoon.

Good luck with the coyotes and the goats. On average, how many eggs do your goats lay daily?

That will work for me... whenever it is convenient for you... send me PM with approx. time so I am sure to be on the lookout.

I do find eggs in the goat shed... not sure whose they are

I believe that you can't have directly the result because
from your profil seems you have the SU Make!
Only SU Pro have complete boolean operation! (Difference, union, intersection,...)
So you must must make the intersection by hands!

[pilou]

You can make the same things than the Pro with the SU Make version...
except the fact that you must
choose by hand that you must erase for have the volume resulting wishing!
Intersection, Union, Difference, Cut, Divide !

Only external skin is possible!

OK. check you PMs.

Interesting about the eggs.

Thanks pilou...

I think I have made some progress in understanding the 'intersection' stuff... I was able to 'subtract' the part of the vertical core (that fits over the horizontal core, i.e., like a saddle), manually closed it up and now Solid. I set the to cores together and used SolidSolver... it fixed some things and now the 2 cores are a solid group.

Looks like you've still got issues but we'll deal with them soon.

Amazing this forum! Thanks for that Dave!

EDIT:

You are being paid with Coyote Eggs aren't you?

Thanks JQL.

Good question.

moot, check your PMs.

I don't know how I can thank Dave R enough for giving clear, concise, and understandable information. Dave R is THE MASTER
