Chamfer terminating into a point

Sp_Db — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:10:16 GMT

Greetings!

I am very new to Fusion, however, not completely new to CAD. So all the google search results, and results on this forum, haven't been helpful about this.

I am modifying a model created by someone else. I need to make the same chamfer, which terminates into a point, on my newly added part of the solid as was there previously. However, I can't seem to figure out how to make it happen. Any helpful suggestions, maybe tool suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

I was initially going to try the Draft tool to make that tip, but to get to that point I would need a normal chamfer everywhere else where it's straight and unchanging, and I also can't figure out how to make chamfer only on the edges where I want it, as Fusion seems to really, really insist that any curved edge is a solid, unsplittable line even if it's not because it has points on it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! This seemed like it should be a simple task, but it's hard in multiple different CADs I've tried, I am at a loss.

To finish the red arrow edge,

Loft >

Triangle remanent face, to point,

using body edge as CentreLine Rail,

Set To Cut. (Not tried it)

Mirror Features for second half.

For the other cavity, decide how far the std Chamfer runs, and Split Faces at the termination position, then Loft > Cut as above and mirror features.

Might help....

Hey @Sp_Db
What's your suggestion about deleting all chamfers and redoing them in Fusion 360? To select all the chamfer face at once go to the select>Selection filter>choose body face>use box select the faces (unselect unwanted faces). Please find the model for your reference https://a360.co/3pM4FZ2
