blending radius

[Riley]

 I have an old version,V8 and am having trouble blending a fillet on a part from 1/8r to 1/2r , any help out there would be great. I need to draw this part in 3d. I removed the file,because I had trouble editing the cofidentuality stuff off,have to go to work now,will try later to repost the print.

Do you have a file you can share?

Yes that version will have trouble. Best method will be to model with surfaces using the COONS.CHOOK. Make sure it is watertight and then try making a solid from surfaces. Share a file and someone might can help.

 

You are asking someone to do all the work for you. We are here to help you learn to fish not give you the fish.

Sorry but your boss will have to pay someone to model it then.

 

Read Ron's comments regarding fish.

I don't know if I'd be posting up a GM drawing with a confidentiality statement either. Having said that I do see it has a cad something website on it. Are you using this to learn or you need to make it?

[Riley]

I didn't know the print would get me in trouble,maybe I should remove it,or try to edit it. I have made this part free hand,but would have liked to cut a cavity,but couldn't draw it with my software,don't have enough knowledge.

Hi Riley,

 

If you start a CAD file (create some of it) I am sure somebody would be glad to help you, asking somebody to do the entire modeling of the part is different.

 

Thanks

What shop are you at? You're in my neck of the woods. I wanna make sure I never apply there.

Yes that version will have trouble.

 

Ron, I know it's been a while, but didn't MC have a variable radius fillet back then?

Or at least that's how I see it.  Not the best dwg surface work.
