smal question.

I am stuck on the part that I am drawing today.

I have a part that I need to look as much the same as possible,
it is a casted product so there is space to play around with.

what I want is to make a radius/fillet in the corner just like the part.
I try cutting on an angle, I try a 'loft' cut which did not work.

the little experience I have with patches did not give me the result I wanted as well.

Looks like a cone to me.

Can you Attach your *.ipt file here and maybe a couple more images from other angles.

Hi! This can be done quite easily with surfaces. Solid bodies do not have to be created just by solid features. Surfaces are more flexible in terms of defining intersection edges.

You can create a small offset surface from the side. Then loft from the top to the bottom. Extend the edges. Lastly, use Sculpt command to merge them to the solid body. Please take a look at attached part.

Many thanks!
