Another start-point picking problem

Recommended Posts

I am still wrestling with the problem of finding start points. In this Exercise (6.119 from Giesecke F.E., Mitchell A., Spencer H.C., Hill I.L., Dygdon J.T., & Novak J.E. (2014). Technical Drawing. Upper Saddle River (NJ) USA: Prentice Hall p.214) I laid out the underside of the item first.

Aside from Extension 18 which is a repair, I think this is okay but I will appreciate constructive criticism.

 

BTW: can someone tell me why this

edge refuses to fillet?

 

Thanks

Try filleting the inside corners first, then apply the rounds on the outside edges.

 

I tried all sorts of combinations, but in the end it appears that even Inventor gives up and I had to make one of the fillets at half the radius.

 

Inventor says the calculations are too complex, and I can believe them. Patternmakers have some putty-like stuff for situations like that! :thumbsup:

 

Thanks for the advice.
