Chamfer stop on edge

[christofferW528U]

Hi. im working in the furniture industri and often want to stop a chamfer on a specifik point.

Looking for the best way to do this its slowing my workflow very mutch to try combine/split and so on.

sweep not working very good either.

Cant there be a feture that lets on place a point on edge to stop the chamfer or something like that?

Best regards

you are correct in that today, there is no way to do a "partial chamfer".  Manually doing it with sweep is the only real workaround, so if that is not working for you, you'll have to do something even more manual, such as a loft.

Hi thanks for quick reply.

i have looked in forums and so on.

And for what i can understand this has been reqested like several years ago.

Is there a plan to adress this problem in the future?

ill look in too the loft function but i guess it wont work as i want.

Don’t understand why Sweep fails.

Straight chamfers can be Extrude > Cut - Distance, or to a point.

Might help....

I will give an example.

i have 2 diffrent components like a leg that are connected to a border on a table, the chamfer must stop where they are connected and continue along the boarder seamlessly.

i have done this before joining components together but it messes upp the cadfile and creates problems.

maybe i just havent got the correct workflow for it?

Like this?  Edit the 3rd extrude for the settings.

There are a few ways to do this sort of thing, probably not the way I would do it, but as you stated you had the 2 components in existence, I just followed your lead.

I made the components, extruded their sketches, rail has inbuilt chamfer in the sketch.

For the yellow component, I added the triangle to the sketch, 

Extrude cut, select from the chamfer face of the rail to start from, and take it all the way down.

Screencast and I don't get on.

The chamfer tool could be used perfectly if the 2 solids were joined. Why not model up as 1 solid, chamfer, and split up after?

[christofferW528U]

This will be the way to do it from now on iguess.

The example i provided isent for every time i have to chamfer.

Its a lot of models and some times i dont know before i start, if and were a model needs to be chamferd.

Anyway thx for taking the time.

Best regards

Thats a solution that best culd be used if one knows from start every chamfer.

i have tried it multiple times after a complete assembly and its giving me lots of bugs with multiple bodies that cant be delited and so on.
