Hi,
Attached are the files I am having problems / questions about. Let me start with the easy one, the chamfer. For some reason I am unable to create a chamfer on the curved edge. My first thought was, maybe the distance value was to high, since my goal was to create a tapered face at the full thickness. So, the first value I used was .16, wich equals the thickness. Since this didn't work I tried smaller values with the same results. Finally I tried a fillet, but this didn't work either. Maybe I just have to rebuild this part differently?
My second problem, actually rather some questions about trimming/boolean difference. There are four round parts, the second one (from the origin in y) was my original shape. I created this by revolving profile curves and then applying offset (thickness) to the result. I tried to trim it in half with the trim command, which split everything in individual faces. Boolean Difference doesn't do anything. So I recreated the part, and maybe the steps were a little bit different, but basicly the same revolve and thickness/offset.This time Boolean Difference works ... why I don't know? One thing I finally noticed was, the object was actually no solid, but joined surfaces. Now I tried Boolean Merge, after this failed, Boolean Union, but I wasn't able to create one solid with either commands.
So I tried that again by revolving the full profile without having to apply thickness/offset, which created a solid. Boolean Diff works as expected, but trim splits everything in individual faces. Can't really figure out why. Forgot to mention I used V2 Beta.
Thanks in advance.
