Hey dudes. Does anyone know how to make a cutout inside an extrusion in SolidWorks? In this case, I have a hole, and would like to make a cutout within the hole fit an o-ring.

inventor doesn't have a groove tool :smith: so you'd do a plane through the center axis of the hole parallel to said axis & cut-sweep your O-ring profile around, and i'm assuming that's what the solidworks groove tool would be simulating in that scenario.
