Chamfer Woes...

tomHKD9J — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 20:38:03 GMT

I have a project I have been working on. It consists of 3 parts to be assembled, 2 of the parts are mirrors of each other and this is where my problem lies. Trying to chamfer an outer edge on one part worked as it always does, on the second part I get warnings and failures and I just cannot figure out what or why it is doing this. Any help would be appreciated. The difference between the two is in the field, one has a window, and the other has mounting holes. The wind part is the problem on the outside edge. If you compare the two you will see what or where it is giving me a fit.

I have opened both models, edited the chamfer to a different but the same value, noted the edges are the same, bar the window opening in one, and I see no issue or warnings. Please open your model, and take a screen capture of the problem area and error you see and attach it to your post.

Hopefully this screenshot will show you what I am running into.

I found no problems adding the section you highlighted to the existing chamfer. I had to create a 0.001" smaller chamfer, in the area indicated by the red arrow due to the fact the corner is too tight to get the full 0.025" chamfer. Model is attached.

Strange things afoot in F360... While I was waiting for your response, I tried splitting up the process and moved some of it ahead in the timeline, you can see where I placed them in the screenshot to just before the holes for comparison. When I moved some of the chamfer and some of the fillet to this point in the timeline it worked fine. If you compare the good file and the problem file together you can see they were created exactly the same so this is really baffling me as to why F360 is having an issue with that particular part.
