Copy Object Section Without Split?

Hi all,

Is there a way to copy a section of an object, without splitting it?

I want to copy a section (pictured) and place a copy beside it, rotated 90 degrees, and union the copy into the shaft.

Of course I can just split it (and I will, because you won’t answer quickly enough… :grin: ) but at least I’d like to know until I run into a similar problem next time.

TIA

SubObjectSelect : Copy(InPlace) : Selnone : select the copied geometry, rotate, union. Yes?

Hi James,

Tried that, but after rotating, the geometry doesn’t seem to stick to the surface. Boolean fails. An “Intersection” shows the following curve as a result:

… but hm, that may simply indicate I need to try harder to define the center… (I’ll try some more).

Edit: Tried being more careful defining the center point, and after retrying your sequence of commands, the rotate copy geometry is elegantly in place.

(Btw, I got away without splitting due to the quick answer… :slight_smile: )

Many thanks! :+1:
