modeling a clamp.

Hello, leaving the highlighted end, how would you model it?
I have adopted two strategies, one I like little and the other is not bad.
Thank you.

2 extrusions and rays

the same thing I did, the simplest. then wanting you can make a sweep and a cut with surface, followed by the fittings.

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

ceto can also make it full and then make two side cuts for ribbing, a central for the silhouette, a sweep for the fittings.
methods are many. you can also make it all surface and then create the solid or do it with the sheet functions and then join the solids

there are wrong quotations

Hey, if you say so... Of course we should inform ds that the total definition tool of the sketch cannot do his job..... patience.... good day.

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

Of course the total definition does its work, but it does not do well for design.
is like automatic recognition of the functions of an imported file: Does it work? certainly, but rarely and only on simple elements you manage the functions created with productivity

In fact, to say it all those rays would have been correct to make them as a separate function.

by the way you combined with the post sheet https://www.cad3d.it/forum1/threads/parti-da-assieme-in-lamiera.55627/#post-433482?

 

[graziano-g]

Of course, but at every good account, despite the quotation may seem / be twisted I do not see quotation errors, double quotas, useless quotas.
the sketch is one.
or do you mean that first you should have done the skeletal solid then apply the rays as fittings?
In this case I do not share, for this form from a sketch I have control of all geometries, for other cases instead I agree.
for the sheet I had no time to deepen, almost.

Thank you.
