How to make inset fillet?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am completely new to Fusion 360 and I am trying to follow the lamp example.  In the example there is a slide (15 of 30) that asks you to fillet an edge to 50mm.  When I perform this task the fillet creates a fillet away from the edge creating a ramp (pardon my uneducated terminology).  The fillet is supposed to be inset creating a curve under the edge.  I've attached images demonstrating what it should look like and what it actually looks like.  Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong?  

 

Thank you!

I think the problem that you are having is that the part you are trying to have the inset fillet on was not created as a new body.  When you create that part and extrude or push/pull it, if you use Join instead of New Body, it will create the fillet between those joined bodies like you are seeing.  To have it inset, if the lamp arm is a new body, you will be able to make it inset like in the image you attached.  Let me know if this isn't the case!

 

Operation: New Body

Ahh that did it.. I started the tutorial over from scratch and now realize that the step for pulling the sketch projection did involve setting it as a new body.  Wish the tutorial explained things a little bit better about what projections, sketches, bodies, etc are but slowly developing some understanding.  Thank you for helping!
