      In a model of an offset strap hinge, I've been able to get everything I intended for the first pass - except - how to show a countersink.

      I've got the outside diameter at 1/4" and the inside diameter at 1/8". I even got the angle from the outer circle edge to the inner circle edge. I thought that I could use the Follow Me tool and create the sloping countersink, but I get a message saying that Follow Me doesn't work with circles.

      I know I've done this before but it has been about 3 years since I last used SU. Could someone please give me some guidance?

            As Box wrote, lots of ways to do it. You could selected the edge of the hole and move it down, too.
