Cannot chamfer edges

InDezign — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 11:55:51 GMT

Hi everyone,

while I can select all other edges of a body - it's not possible to chamfer one single edge.

Attached is the image and a simplified file.

Is this a known issue?

Did anyone encounter a similar issue?

Thanks and kind regards

Eric

It's not apparent from your image which edges on the model you are trying to chamfer, as the simplified file is fairly different from your image, thus not giving us any markers as to where is what

Sorry, for the discrepancy in the image to the file.

Try to chamfer the outer edge (see blue line on image attached).

The outside edge is not regular or consistent within itself. In the Screencast I square it up and it chamfers fine. The amount I took off was just for demonstration, you can adjust the amount. You also would be a lot better off to turn on Capture Design History (Timeline). Model Attached.

Nice workaround, John 😉

Haven't thought of it.

Thanks a lot!

But honestly, how can an edge be "not regular or consistent within itself" while I created it in Fusion 360 and while the same edge of the body - when cutting a part of it off - can be chamfered.

These are the mysteries of Fusion 360...

@jhackney1972 I suspected that might be the issue, but I'm not seeing any method of knowing that the surface is irregular. Performing a small slice and measuring across all points, it appears to be consistent...

I cannot tell from your supplied model BECAUSE you do not Capture Design History. If you did, I may be able to go back and analyst why the irregular edge occurred.

Unfortunately, due to confidential reasons I cannot provide the file with Design History. 😒

But anyway, many thanks again - I already did what you suggested and it worked perfect. 🤗
