chamfer on hex part

[Anonymous]

How do I add a chamfer to the hexagon so it looks right (like a nut)? See the attached pdf file for reference.

Extrude circle with taper

or

do the same way as out on the shop floor - Revolve Cut.

Examples to follow...

See Attached example showing both techniques.

See the attached this is my method there are probably a lot more.

The file is in 2021 IPT format,

I've got others going back as far as 2016 if you need an example form an earlier version

Hope it's of some help.

Creat the boddy

 Crate the body on either the X,Y or Z plain, extruded equally in both directions 

Creat a construction sketch

 Crate a construction sketch on one of the faces

Creat the revolve cut

Using the project geometry create and revolve chamfer cut  

Mirrror, if making a nut
