Eliminating features above countersinks

[MesaTactical]

In the following image you can see how some features project over the countersinks:

Since I place the countersunk holes in a face lower than the overhanging features, I'm not sure how to extend the countersink up so that the features don't overhang.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to some kind of conical cut extrude.

Simple ... Start the countersink higher up

Create a plane where you want the CSK to start from, or use the top surface of the trapezoids & recess or enlarge the CSK to suit. The Hole Wizard has a feature under Head Clearance & Type which allows an Increased C'sink or Added C'bore

Or reorder the c'sink in the feature tree to be before the object that protrudes over it

automationbabe ... that won't help if you start the CSK at the lower level ... give it a try. The CSK can only "cut-extrude (revolve)" in one direction.

Thanks.

Moving the hole up and down the tree didn't help.

Instead, I changed the sketch plane of the hole to the top of the teeth, and added a counterbore the same length as the height of the teeth from the "deck."

Looks like this:

You could have started a new sketch on the face converted the edge and cut-extruded it up. That is what it looks like you did anyways.

That's an extra step though!

But it still works

The VAR who conducted my training was emphatic about "reducing clicks."
