Asymmetric Chamfer Feature

 

Invoked ByInsert go to Fillet/Chamfer (Part Level)

 

icon776.gifUse this command to create a constant chamfer along selected edges based on two setback distances. The second setback can be specified as an angle using the Angle/Setback option (see below).

 

The required inputs include the edges to chamfer, the first setback distance and the angle or second setback distance whichever applies. The optional inputs include the ability to use patch faces in tight corners.

See VX Note.Partial Results Chamfering - In solid chamfering, if the chamfer fails in the cornering code, the prompt: "Chamfer failed - partial results?" is displayed. If you select Yes, a partial results of the chamfer operation is created. The partial results consist of the new chamfer faces sewn together into a separate shell and the topology split and/or extended as much as is possible. If you select No, an error message is returned. This allows you to still create as much of chamfer geometry as possible even if a failure occurs.

 

Operational Sequence

 

  1. Select the edges to chamfer.

  2. Select the face on the first side of the edge. This face will receive the first setback distance. You may only select a face that borders the selected edge.

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all of the edges you want to chamfer are selected and their faces are specified and then middle-click to continue.

  4. Specify the first setback distance.

  5. Specify the second setback distance (or angle if the Angle option is selected - see below).

  6. Middle-click to execute the command.
