Hi,

Im designing a mouse trap which is basically a dome but just a bit elongated. Ive done the dome shape but i need to draw a viewing window onto the curved top in a circular shape. I have been hopelessly trying for 2 hours any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Im not too advanced on the programme yet so im sorry if this question has a simple solution! Thanks, Ben.

create a sketch above the model in the shape you want the window to be, then go to insert > curve > splitline

then in the options select projection, and then select your sketch and then the face you want to apply it to.

Simalarly you can use the split function ( insert > features > split) if you already have a shell and you want to make the window a separate part.
