Select the REGION command and select the whole gure (every lines should be selected), then
press ENTER on your keyboard. Actually, you just need to select the outer gure without selecting
the circle, but it makes no di erence if you decide to select everything.

Step 3

Find the EXTRUDE command and select it.

Select everything, type 40 on your keyboard and press ENTER. You should get the gure below.

Step 4

What we need now is subtracting the volume 2 from the volume 1.

Select the SUBTRACT command, an subtract the cylinder 2 from the gure 1. You might want to

To notice the result of the SUBTRACT command and see how it a ected your design, change the
VISUAL STYLE from 2D Wireframe to Shades of grey to get the result below.

Step 6

Use the EXTRUDE command like in Step 3 to get a cylinder of height 10. (you can extrude with a
negative value to see the di erence, try with -10)

In my case the Cylinder grew outward when I wanted it to grow inward. So I will use the MOVE
command to change the position of my cylinder such as having it like this. (To move your cylinder,
use the center of the outer base of the cylinder as the rst base point of displacement, and the
center of the diagonal as the second point)

Step 9

Use the EXTRUDE command to get a cylinder from the circle we have just drawn, and make sure
the cylinder is longer than the main object like shown on the gure below.
