Create the Cylindrical Portion

We will create the cylindrical portion of the hopper by making joined copies of the bottom edge, moving in the Z direction.

1. Click  View Navigate Orientation Front View.
2. With the  Selection Shape Point or Rectangle and  Selection Select Lines commands active, click and drag to draw a rectangel enclosing the top edge of the model.

   

3. Hold down the Ctrl key and draw a rectangle around the upper right corner of the model.  

   

   This  removes the lines along that straight edge from the selection. We do not  want to copy these lines because that would produce a wall in the middle of the cylinder.

4. Click  Draw Pattern Move or Copy.
   • Activate the Copy check box.
   • Type 16 in the adjacent field.
   • Activate the Join check box.
   • Type 20 in the Total distance field and select DZ.
   • Click OK
5. Click  View Navigate Orientation Isometric View.  

The model  displays as shown in the following image.
