How to make a 3D cubical fillet on the corner of a subject.

[Leo.Aerts]

I had like to round off the sharp corner of a machine part but am not able to do it in Inventor. Seems simple, but not for me.

Is there a specific way and/or cmd for it, or are there only workarounds? 

Included screen dump of what I want to do and what not. 

Certain dies are also rounded on the way I want, others not. 

Also .ipt file.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @Leo.Aerts 

In the Fillet tool there is an option to create "Setback" fillets

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Thanks,

Seems to work acceptable on one corner, but as the constant radius may not be 0, I am not yet able to round one other corner. ipt in attachment.

I meant an adjacent corner of course.

Hi @Leo.Aerts 

Try selecting all of the edges in the same fillet feature and then adding multiple vertices as shown.

I hope this helps.

Here's an alternative, not so steep at the top of the fillet.

Hallo Curtis, 

Thanks a lot, with a little wandering about I could manage. Formidable! And basically not complicated. 

I add my results. For me it's perfect!

Hallo Walter, 

Ich danke Ihnen auch herzlich.

Tomorrow I will study your solution as there are several features which I never knew but also want to learn, to deepen my future understanding of the Inventor program.... 

Btw: Have you heard of the GROB Hausmesse in Mindelsheim? I took a week of for it and stay 3 days.

@Leo.Aerts 

The modeling technique of your part could be significantly simplified.

Notice that in my Sketch1 there are no duplicated dimensions.

Dear Sir, 

Thank you very much for your attribution. 

A bit ashamed, I must admit that it took me a few days before I understood the meaning of your attachment. 

Enlightning today teached me much more as only the technology, but more the stylistic way of working without unnecesary work arounds. That also what I learned today. 

With more hope to reach ever an acceptable level, 

Leo
