bavdeyka Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Could you prompt me on how to create an intersection with radius of 3 mm along the edge marked with red arrows? I keep stumbling upon an error:( Edited December 9, 2014 by bavdeyka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Create an intersection? Do you be a fillet? How did you create this in the first place? Edited December 9, 2014 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavdeyka Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 ReMark, you're right..as usual) another localization issue:x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well I've got bad news for you. I think the geometry is a bit off and trying to apply a fillet may not work. How did you create this object in the first place? Did you do it with surfaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) After exploding and erasing I took a closer look at the edge you want to fillet. Something seems amiss (you have a jog in your linework) and unfortunately it appears this way on both edges. Was that intentional? I think you had a similar problem in another thread of yours. Is this the same drawing we're talking about here? I tried the FILLET command, using two different options, but it failed.

bavdeyka Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 The drawing in the previous thread is the same edge. When the fillet command failed for the first time I extracted the edge and wanted to sweep the contour and create a smooth transition using boolean extraction. But I failed, though I hurried to write you about the successful result in my previous thread. My objective is to create a smooth transition along this line for more convienient connection of the details. I don't have any exact requirements for accuracy. So I'd do with just the visual effect of fillet, but I can't achieve even this... The jog is intentional as I contoured the object in .stl - if I haven't done it then, I'd probably already have driven you nuts with my questions:) Maybe you have some ideas on how to do it? I'm not a professional in 3D modelling, I just need to create some details for my hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 At this moment I have no solution to your problem. Accuracy and attention to detail is the key to any good drawing. Ever hear the phrase "Garbage In = Garbage Out"? Think of it as building a house on a bad foundation. If the foundation is no good the rest of the house will suffer.

ReMark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 You're welcomed. I will however "sleep" on your problem and perhaps come Wednesday morning I can suggest a way to achieve what you are looking to do. On the other hand maybe someone here will beat me to it in the meantime so do not abandon all hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavdeyka Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi ReMark! haven't any ideas come around, by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 None so far. Every time I think I have one I find a way that it will fail. Just exactly what is the object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Wish I knew what that was exactly. Oh well. Back to the problem at hand. Some of your geometry still seems a bit off to me. Is this something you designed completely on your own or did you try your hand at reproducing something you already have in your possession?

SLW210 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I changed your thread title to "Creating a Fillet". Edited December 11, 2014 by SLW210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavdeyka Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 ReMark, the object is a future part of the quadcopter frame. Frankly, I find it a bit difficult to explain it with words) I contoured an .stl object with a polyline and extruded it. So I designed it myself. I'd love to do everything in AutoCad, but now I think it might be easier to create a fillet manually on the real model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
