How to round a cylinder

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:12:24 GMT

I'm trying to figure out how to round the edge of a cylinder. I am new to fusion 360. I have found out to bevel the edge but I need to completely round it. Thanks

Please File -> Export your design and attach it here. Even if this is an easy task, I still don't know if you started with a primitive (what's IMHO is not a good way to start in Fusion 360), if you just want to round the bottom or the top, too etc.

You've figured out Chamfer but you haven't figured out Fillet?

Fillet the top of the cylinder with a radius value equal to half the cylinder's diameter.

Or... sketch an appropriate profile and Revolve it around the cylinder's axis to cut away what you want.

Or... maybe just use Revolve to create your cylinder with a rounded top in the first place.

There is generally a lot less "figuring out" to do if one goes through the educational and training materials provided in the Support and Learning section.
