    Radii in 3D sketches...

    Hello,

     

    Anyone out there had problems trying to put a fillet on a 3D sketch?

    I have a corner interface that is made up of an arc to a straight line...and can I heck as like put a fillet on that corner.

     

    Is it possible or just a facility that doesn't work on arc/line interfaces?

     

    regards

    Works fine here.
    Attach the file that exhibits this behavior.

    Have a play with this...

    there is only one radius to complete...

     

    if you're able to radius it, we must be missing an update somewhere down the line...

    See attached.

    You will have to reproduce since this was done in edu version.

     

    Oops, what version did you say you are using?

    The trick is to use 3 point arcs rather than those Include Geometry arcs.

    I couldnt load it...you're using IV2012...Im on 2011...

    but I tried the 3 point arc...and that wouldn't work for me...

    I snapped to one line, snapped to the other...the centre can be anywhere...

    but when I tried to apply a tangential constraint for the arc to the snapped lines, it wouldn't do it?

     

    take me from here...

     

    regards

    In 3D Sketch9 the first half of the geometry is drawn, but the second half is projected (from what I don't know), so if you are trying to fillet the projected part of the path it won't work. You would need to go back to wherever that geometry was projected from and alter it there.

    The projected line is an arc...the line it connects to is at an angle of 25 degrees from the plane of the projected line.

    This creates a compound angle i need to put a radius on.

    Going back to the projected line wouldn't help.

    I'm finding i can't radius 2 arcs in a 3D sketch...and I can't make an constrain an arc tangential to a line in 3D sketch either.

     

    regards

    What problem are you having creating the 3-point arcs in the 3D sketch as instructed earlier in Post #4?
