    How to remove intersecting bodies?

    Have this splitter valve that I'm modeling, how do I remove the intersecting bodies, to have a conformed part?
    Is there away to split the part into two different parts?

    Thank you.

    I tried using the "combine " routine in a multibody part but couldn't get what you wanted. I think the best way might be to create a assembly of 5 "different" tubes where you want them and then use the "cavity" feature to take away the intersecting volumes. There may be other opinions.

    The easiest way to do this as a single part would be to model it as solid rounds first (instead of tubes) and then use the shell command to hollow it out. In the shell command select the faces on the ends of the rounds to make them open.
