How to remove this angled area from a solid?

[u3rick]

As a beginner in 3D drawing this project poses a few problem for me. I have included a jpg of what I am trying to draw. I have drawn the tip in a solid without the V area taken out and have attached that drawing. I need to know volume in the end.

I would draw the top face of the object as if it did not have the chamfer, draw the bottom face as if it did not have the chamfer.  Multiple extrude those two to the correct height.   Then I would chamfer those top and bottom edges by performing a solid subtraction from the side.

Thanks, I will try this tonight! It may bring up more question we will see. lol!

I'd draw it by lofting and then use the Push/Pull tool to subtract the 45º and 60º chamfers. Here's an example (there's something weird about the proportions vs. dimensions on the original drawing) with each step.

 

- I drew the bottom profile curve, copied it, moved it up and adjusted its length.

- I converted both curves to NURBS and lofted them using the first mode of the loft tool and the Create Solid checkbox checked.

- I drew guides on the side for the two chamfers.

- I used the third mode of the Push/Pull tool to remove the 45º chamfer and then the 60º chamfer.
