Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
Here is the model from chrisb without the middle hole and with 6 symmetry lines as in OP sketch

Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
But the sketches support is kind of out of scope so it may be better to use the Part WB revolve instead. Here it is:

In your Model you applied the Cut to the feature Pocket.papyblaise wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 1:55 pmI didn't do thatYou should not apply Part booleans to PartDesign features.

Bump @Jolbas @chrisb.
How to keep sketch/circular array elements oriented along radial lines instead of tangent circles? Please advise, thanks.

Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
I'm not sure what you mean. If all holes should follow radian lines then it's not possible to have the number of holes as in your first sketch. Can you make a new hand sketch showing the desired pattern.
Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
In the image attached you will see that the array elements are oriented tangentially. I would attach the file of what I want but you and chrisb already did it..and I don't know how you did. That's what I'm asking. How did you get the array elements oriented radially (like in the last one you uploaded).

Try set the FilletBodyHoleSketch Parameter AttachmentOffset->Angle to 90°

Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
Suppose you drew the initial sketch rotated counter clockwise by 90 degrees. Wouldn’t you then call the arrangement radial? In other words the array operation is identical. @physmage
Re: How to create a radially symmetric multitransform that "fans out"
Thanks @Jolbas, that worked!
@edwilliams16 Yeah, those two scenarios are equivalent. I thought there was a parameter in the task pane that I was somehow missing, but just rotating the object in the sketch certainly does the same job.
Thanks again all!
