Hi, I created this shape first:

Then duplicated it as needed:

Then extruding top and bottom edges:

Does it work for you ?

hi, thanks for the help.

i figured it out. first i used append to polygon tool to fill the triangle shaped gaps. and i had a perfect circle. then i extruded the bottom edge.
