Dear all,
dear Michael.
Rudy here. I newbie in this world.
I am learning, so you guys bear with me. I know you are all very busy and Michael perhaps more than everybody (but I am ready to purchase when V1 is out), so do not get too mad at me.

I am having a problem to kake things happen with this solied (see attachment).

1- I would like to fillet the main rounded section, but when I select the main curve or even the whole solid, nothing happen.
Any radius is OK, as I just testing
2-I would like to shell the bottom of this piece, and also this will not work.
3- I can still make a shelling of the bottom, by offset the whole pice, but I have only positive results> It will offset only to a bigger piece. If I give a negative value, it will not offset it.

Am I doing things wrong?

Thank you all,
Rudy

Select the half big rounded face : Fillet 0.05 = no problem :)
Or only the big arc if you want just fillet it
All works fine also for the bottom, under etc. :)
Seems you have just taken a more big angle!

Hi Rudy, like Pilou mentions maybe you were using too large of a fillet radius?

Over here selecting the whole solid seems to fillet fine up to a maximum radius of 0.17 - any much more than that and the little face will get totally consumed:



If fillet is failing for you, the first thing to do is to try using a really small radius, like 0.1 or 0.01 . If that succeeds you can start increasing it and look for the areas that are causing problems, such as a face being totally eaten away, pieces running into each other, etc...

Shelling can be kind of similar - over here shelling the bottom face of your solid seems to work fine up to a distance of 0.39. Any more than that and again pieces will start to run into each other and fail.

Thank you Michael,
Thank you Pilou.
Appreciate it.
