Reverse fillet on solid


Hertz
 Share

Recommended Posts

Good morning, I'm trying to add a fillet in the bottom of this hole, and when I select constant fillet and the size, it works, except it goes reverse. The fillet goes down on the sides instead of up. Is there a way to reverse the direction of the fillet?

That "hole" look a lot like a c-bore. 

What exactly are you trying to do?

yes it is a c/bore. At the bottom of it, I'm trying to add a 1/4 radius.

Can you show a screen shot of the bad fillet?

Doesn't matter what I select, it puts the fillet reversed.

It's not a through hole. I had no problem drawing the radius once converted to surfaces, but from the solid mode, it does it backwards. Might be how I drew the model? The hole was originally a through hole, but I extruded the make a c/bore. I'll upload a file shortly.

I'm guessing that you may have 2 solids there.

This was it. I feel like an idiot.

I re drew the part and extruded a cut into the square with the proper depth and it worked.

What I did originally was the square and the hole so it cut a hole right through, then I just extruded from the back. That's exactly what it did was create 2 models. Had I looked in my toolpath manager, I would have seen it. Thanks fellas.
