In this section, you blend some of the faces using a face fillet with a hold line. For a face fillet, you can specify the radius between faces, or you can specify a hold line. When you specify a hold line, the face that shares an edge with the hold line is removed. The radius of the fillet is determined by the position of the hold line relative to the selected faces.

Now create a face fillet.

1. Click Fillet on the Features toolbar.

2. In the PropertyManager, under Fillet Type select Face fillet.

3. Under Items To Fillet:

1. Click inside the first selection box, Face Set 1 . In the graphics area, select the face labeled below as Face Set 1.

2. Click inside the second selection box, Face Set 2 . In the graphics area, select the face labeled below as Face Set 2.

4. Under Fillet Options, click inside the Hold line selection box, then select the edge labeled Hold Line.

5. Click OK , then save the part.
