Surface Intersect

I have a circle a certain distance from a flat surface. I would like to
extrude the circle to the surface, so that the cylinder created is
capped off, but where it intersects the flat surface there is a hole.
This is so I can fillet the capped surface and the intersection point
with the flat surface. Then I want to thicken to have a uniform solid
body. What is the best way to do this in Solidworks without a temendous
amount of steps?

Thank you in advance,

Jack

 

Using the "flat Surface" mentioned as your sketch plane create a new surface
with no hole and use that new surface to extrude up to.

Muggs,

The "flat surface" is actually a non-planar surface. I used "flat
surface to try to keep it simple. I would like the cylinder to create
the hole in the "flat surface", but the cylinder needs to be capped and
hollow, to allow me to join the two and then thicken.

Thank you.

 

OK then, how'bout Offset surface 0 (copy surface) and then untrim the hole
in the copied surface and use that?

I got it. Extrude the cylinder past the "flat surface", then delete the
face in the end of the cylinder that went past. Do a mutual trim and
pick the faces to keep.

Thanks for helping.

OK. Glad you got it.
