Drawing the second line across the inner circle breaks the inner circle into two continuous lines. The first line you draw creates endpoints that break the segments in the outer circle, but not the inner circle. To delete a portion of a circle, arc, or curve entity segment, you need to break the continuity.

Note: Why do you have to draw two lines to divide the offset circles? When you draw a circle using the Circle tool (or a curve using the Arc tool, or a curved line using the Freehand tool), you are actually drawing a circle (or arc or curve) entity, which is made of multiple-segments that act like a single whole. The following figure shows the bowl profile on the left and the bowl on the right. Your bowl is complete and you can delete the circle on the ground plane.

With the Follow Me tool ( ), click the profile of the bowl.

This is the path the Follow Me tool will use to complete the bowl.

With the Select tool ( ), select the edge of the circle on the ground plane.

When you're done, you have a profile of the bowl.

With the Eraser tool ( ), erase the top half of the second circle and the face that represents the inside of the bowl.

With the Line tool ( ), draw two lines: one that divides the outer circle in half and one that divides the inner circle that you created with the Offset tool.

Check out the following figure to see how your model looks at this point.

The offset distance represents the bowl thickness.

With the Offset tool ( ), create an offset of this second circle.

The radius of this second circle represents the outside radius of your bowl. If the Circle tool doesn't stay in the green or red inference direction, press and hold the Shift key to lock the inference. To encourage the inference, orbit so that the green or red axis runs approximately left to right along the screen.

Starting from the blue axis, draw a circle perpendicular to the circle on the ground plane (that is, locked to the red or green axis).

Hover the mouse cursor over the origin so that the cursor snaps to the origin and then move the cursor up the blue axis.

These steps are easier if you start from the drawing axes origin point.

With the Circle tool ( ), draw a circle on the ground plane.

Here's how the process works, step-by-step: Then you use the Follow Me tool to turn the outline into a bowl by having it follow the original circle on the ground plane. In a nutshell, to create bowl, you draw a circle on the ground plane and a profile of the bowl's shape directly above the circle.

In this example, you look at one way to draw a bowl and how to apply the technique for creating a bowl to a dome or sphere. Tip: You can use the tips and techniques demonstrated in these chair examples to create all sorts of other complex 3D models.
