7.6.2.12.6.6. Combination of a fillet and a chamfer

[Note]Note

If intersecting edges are to be a combination of fillet and chamfer, this cannot be achieved by using the blend feature alone, but only through the combined use of basic extrusion (sketch) and blend.

Example:

  1. The following figure shows that chamfers have already been created by sketch (green marking).

  2. Now make a surface selection on the 3D model to round the surrounding edges. Then call up the Create new chamfer/rounding [New Chamfer/Fillet...]... command in the context menu.

  3. Result:

    In the 3D history [3D History], you can see which mode was used for what.

[Note]Note

Chamfers/fillets, which follow only one axis, should be created by sketch. Chamfers/fillets, which go along at several axes should be created by the Blend feature. The latter ones could not be directly integrated into the sketch by geometrical reasons. An extrude can only model a chamfer/fillet in direction of extrusion.
