Software advice on fitting an orifice within a cylinder

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting software to fit an orifice within a cylinder using an STP file format. Users recommend changing the file extension to "txt" for compatibility with various 3D mechanical design packages. Additionally, sharing screenshots in JPG or PDF formats is advised for better visualization of the design. Useful resources include online STEP file viewers and file-sharing platforms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of STP file format and its applications in 3D modeling
  • Familiarity with 3D mechanical design software
  • Basic knowledge of file management and conversion techniques
  • Experience with file-sharing methods for design collaboration
NEXT STEPS
  • Research compatible 3D design software for STP files, such as Autodesk Fusion 360
  • Learn how to convert file formats effectively for 3D modeling
  • Explore online STEP file viewers like eMachineShop and ShareCAD
  • Investigate best practices for sharing design files and visual aids
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mechanical engineers, 3D designers, and anyone involved in CAD modeling who needs to manipulate STP files for design projects.

TL;DR
I'd like to get some advice on what software is best to fit an orifice within a cylinder.
I have a stp file (PF does not support it so I cannot upload it here. If there is a way I can share it please let me know) of an orifice and I want to create a new file where the orifice is fit inside a cylinder.

What software do you recommend me to use?

Thank you! :)

You can change the file extension to "txt" and upload it. Then tell people that it's an "stp" file, so they need to change the file extension before loading it into their 3-D mechanical design package.

It also helps if you save a few screenshots as JPG or PDF files and upload those too, so that others have an idea what your design looks like in your design package.
