Chamfer all edges of surface

Anonymous
Not applicable

So I am trying to make a labyrinth gift box with a custom maze. I used the sheet metal environment in order to get it to wrap around a cylindrical shape. The problem now is that I want to be able to chamfer all of the edges of the upper surface without having to go through and select each individual line, similar to how to Rule Fillet tool works. Is there any way for me to do this? Like a "Rule Chamfer" type feature? If not, I'll do it manually, I'm just lazy and don't want to do it myself 😛

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think there is a command button for laziness but perhaps something here will guide the way.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I need to be able to do this on the model itself, not just for the CAM. If there is a way, I would love to know about it. If not, I might be able to write a script. I'm just incredibly lazy and don't want to spend an hour just clicking on each individual edge.

Unfortunately, there is "Rule Chamfer" today in Fusion.  Interesting suggestion, though.  Here is the IdeaStation entry for that:  rule-chamfer-why-not.  I encourage you and others who would find this useful to vote for this item.

 

In the meantime, it seems like window select could reduce the tedium of edge selection, and get you at least part way to the set of edges you want in your chamfer:

I have a better solution for you.. I was trying to do this exact same thing, with a round puzzle box... but I'm putting the maze on the inside of the lid so you can't see it... Anyway, There is a way to select all of the edges of the top face only with one selection... You have to get the view of it from the side, edit the selection filter to only body edges, and select the whole top part of the maze... it will select just the top edges, and you can fillet or chamfer them all to your heart's desire! in about 20 seconds. Except it took me about 30 minutes to figure that out.

Dredging this up - like most things F360 5 years later and it looks like this has not been implemented...


And wow at @Fueler what a take.  A command button for laziness? 

I was not aware that wanting to work efficiently or smartly was "lazy". 

I have literally over a thousand faces to chamfer - shall I select each one at a time? What happens when I make a mistake and have to start over. What happens when Fusion 360 becomes so unresponsive due to the number of selections that it crashes?  

 

I will find a workaround - but the tool upgrade, as proposed in 2018 is long overdue.
