JD Mather Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I would start by reading this document. http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf I noticed that your first sketch isn't constrained - even though you placed at origin. This should be automatic. It was also unclear to me where you were trying to add the fillet - I am able to fillet the entire part?

TonyBorland Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Cheers...i was using Loop select Would this part be better made with sheetmetal? It was the 1st time i use the bend command....does the bend feature always leave segments where the part is bent? Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Cheers...i was using Loop selectWould this part be better made with sheetmetal? I would have modeled as-folded to the finished dimensions, probably as a trimmed surface and then Thicken. It could also be modeled from sheet metal. I would have used either of these techniques rather than the Bend as you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBorland Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 OK thanks JD If time permits would you be able to give examples of - I would have modeled as-folded to the finished dimensions, probably as a trimmed surface and then Thicken and sheet metal....as mentioned that was the 1st time i used Bend feature so seeing other ways of making Bend features will assist in me modelling better Cheers, Tony B Inventor 2012 EDU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
