stormhayward Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hello, I have modelled a 3D car in AutoCAD; I have attached this file. I have been trying to fillet all of the edges to make it smooth, however I keep getting the error 'Failed to perform blend' and 'Failure while filleting'. I have tried reducing the radius to no avail. Any idea how I could do this? Thanks Porsche.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Interesting. Why does a very large structural channel appear when the car is selected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 After starting the Fillet command and picking the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormhayward Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Ah okay, I used that and subtracted it from the original solid to make the shape of the car. I'm not sure if that's the best way of doing it but it seemed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well, after I got rid of it I was able to fillet portions of the car body. My best guess is that the radius, in some instances, is too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to approach this would be to use the INTERSECT command, and draw 3 views of the exterior contour lines as closed polylines, probably TOP, FRONT & RIGHT or LEFT. Still a very difficult thing to model, but if you are unaware of the command, you should probably check it out, it does things that some of the other modeling commands don't.
