Create the Cylindrical Portion

We now create half of the cylindrical portion of the hopper by making joined copies of the bottom edge of the half-cylinder, 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 selection rectangle enclosing the top edge of the model.

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

    This  removes the lines along the straight edge from the selection set. 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.
    1. Activate the Copy checkbox.
    2. Type 16 in the adjacent field.
    3. Activate the Join checkbox.
    4. Type 20 in the Total distance field.
    5. Activate the DZ radio button.
    6. Click OK.
  5. Click View Navigate Orientation Isometric View.

    The model  displays as shown in the following image.
