Full Version: Another filleting issue

Show messages: All  1-2  3-9

Hi Gunter, so the other thing is the fillet will get extended because a spot like this is not a place where a fillet can end:



The fillet wants to intersect with a kind of "capping face" and there is not any such face at that spot.

So instead of opening up a hole in the object there, it will continue on until it finds a suitable face for the fillet to be intersected with like this one shown in yellow here:

Hey Michael, thank you for the detailed explanation.
In my file I actually booleaned the 2 parts so they are one but if I'd like to fillet the part to the end of the yellow line, what would you suggest I do?

Hi Gunter, it kind of looks like there is a little shelf-like structure in this area here:


I'll see if I can clear that out for you to give fillets a better chance.

Hey Michael, you're right, I deleted that rectangle and it worked!
Thank you so much!

Hello,

Booleans can be a good option in this case.

1. Draw solid > Box
2. Draw curve > Circles aligned to Box
3. Select circles, Construct > Boolean > Isect
4. Select box, Construct > Boolean > Diff, select isect solid
5. Draw curve > Circles, align, select circle, Construct > Extrude
6. Select hollowed box solid, Construct > Boolean > Diff, select cylinder
7. Fillet box / cylinder edges
8. Fillet inside box edges
