that probably looks nice, but how is it all done in the app? the big bottom ring might also be the most annoying, because it might have to be more in the middle of the hole on the top(the fused together/fill part), so i wonder if that could also be modified somewhat easily or not...
(the 1st hole pattern probably works too, but the 2nd one could be useful to know how to do that one also etc..)

To become sort of familiar with a tool one needs to practice. There is no shortcut around this fact.
Here youtube is your friend. Search term like "Solid Edge tutorials for beginners" should get you decent start.

What version are you using ? (A older version can't open a file from a never release.)
I have at my disposal 2022, 2023 and 2024 Comunity editiions.

i can probably get community 24 then, but can the part even be reverse-engineered or edited in the app? i cant even seem to use any ctrl+z function after i have saved the file or completed some steps...
i dont think i can ever finish it by looking at some random tutorials tho, because it even took me quite a while to figure out all of that weird fill area stuff...

I ask again ...

What version do you use ?

Note :
SE community edition can't open files done in student or professional ... and vice verse.

Ctrl+z = undo step .
When you save your file this buffer is cleared.

Locking at random tutorials will get you familiar with UI and what features exists in your toolbox.

For example that pictures that I post where you where confused about.
If you now have done some revolve and seen some youtube about revolve you would directly understand what that picture was showing.
It's the profile step in revolve ... The info is right there.

about the last picture = no, i already explained exactly 2 times what didnt match with that - either my steps/procedure was done in the exact opposite order or i didnt use the smart dimension tool = these are the only things that disables most of the buttons that were on your pictures + it is impossible to find any useful tutorial at all, yet alone a video which would explain these weird bugs also (or even show anything useful at all that everyone actually would like to use/need to use irl) - aka try to find a video which would show how to draw a line from the center point to the Xz plane = impossible to find, so how am i even supposed to get anything else done lol

(i can probably use community 2024)

You seem certain the difficulties you are having are due to bugs in the software. How long have you been using it?

@cadthemall It might help if you posted pictures and screenshots of the software issues you are running into. If you use the Windows Snipping tool or other screenshot programs, you can copy and paste the images directly here using the the "Full Editor" option.
There is a sense of frustration from the lack of communicating effectively. Screenshots of your progress in Solid Edge along with better drawings of what you want to accomplish would be helpful for us to assist. @Pernils has gone far out of his way to try and understand and has done an excellent job walking you through the steps with pictures.

just grey out the icon that should be selected to set the revolving axis and then you will get a picture of the weird bug, but i already managed to fix that myself by pressing the sketch view button etc... so i basically managed to get my Revolved 3d profile, but then noticed that the whole concept was wrong a bit(wrong ring is rotating), and there is no way i can fix the rest of the stuff all by myself

Different approach , objective roughly the same ...
