how to make a fillet solid

[ortizwk]

Hello I have a question i would like to know how to make a fillet solid, i have a diagram where there is and edge that has a fillet and i can make the fillet in 2d, but i don't know hot to make it like a solid, or how to extrude it in the z direction i'll leave a picture of what i've done and the diagram i want to fill the little hole between the fillet and the round piece.

 

 

thank you very much for your help.

make the solid longer, then fillet the solid.

[ortizwk]

what solid the fillet? sorry i don't understand

[zaphod]

start the fillet command, select the edge you want to fillet, and the radius, press enter.

maybe i didn't made myself understood, but what i want to do is the piece that is attach to the plate, i will circle it and more importantly the fillet that is form with the piece and the plate. thank you.

Use the FILLET command as it will work on 3D solids IF you pay attention to the command line and what AutoCAD is prompting you to do.

[ReMark]

Command sequence.

 

Command: FILLET

 

Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius = 15.0000

 

Select first object or [undo/Polyline/Radius/Trim/Multiple]:

 

Enter fillet radius or [Expression] : 6.0

 

Select an edge or [Chain/Loop/Radius]: select your edge now

 

1 edge(s) selected for fillet.

 

The result should look like this...

ortizwk: Did you finally figure out how to create the fillet in your 3D model?

Hi ReMark thank you very much yes i figure it, but i have another doubt in my diagram from the center of the circle to the corner of the fillet it says it's 40 mm and i don't get that how can i make it 40 mm do you have any idea of how to approach that??? i get that result thanks again

Whoever put dimensions on that diagram did a poor job. The "40 mm" is NOT the dimension from the corner of the fillet to the center of the hole. It represents the distance off the top of the object to the center of the hole. There would be no good reason for it to be anything else.

Are you telling me is this distance? thanks ReMark.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]56575[/ATTACH]Are you telling me is this distance? thanks ReMark.

NO. The flat plate (with the two small holes in the corners) NOT the top of the cylindrical object.

[ortizwk]

Oh ok so it is from the center of the piece to the top of the plate plate like this

 

[ReMark]

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I said.

 

It looks like you are using the PrtScn key and a paint program to capture/save your images. What version of Windows are you running?

[ortizwk]

oh perfect, thank you very much ReMark. Yes I'm using paint and dropbox to capture my images, and using windows 10.

[ReMark]

Isn't there a feature in Windows 10 called the Snipping Tool? So much easier.

[ortizwk]

god yes it is so much better! thanks ReMark you really helped me a lot I owe you! really aprecciate your help you save me. thanks

[ReMark]

You already paid me with your "thanks". You're entirely welcomed.

I hope to pay you back someday, like you did! thanks again friend
