Trying to create angled horse shoe

[Datsun72]

I am trying to complete a project. I can't create the "horse shoe" properly. I started with 2 lines than an arc and extruded. Then I drew a triangle and cut through. I guess this is why I am getting the step. Also I am trying to create the 2 extruded rectangles, but they just disappear. Finally I believe my large fillet is wrong.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thx!

So you're using Inventor, correct? You posted this question in the Autocad section.

Yes, thanks didn't even realize.

I have moved your thread to the Autodesk Inventor Forum.

Seemed like an interesting enough problem so I drew it up as best I could unfortunately all I have is plain AutoCAD.

Thanks for the drawing. I see you used a triangle and then maybe an arc? How do you create the arc and then angle the whole thing?

I cheated. I created the two inclined surfaces flat then rotated each the proper angle. You seem to have an unnecessary crease in the larger of the two inclined planes.

Ok i'll try that. thanks!

How do you change the angle, and what is your starting edge?

In AutoCAD I used the Rotate command to change the angle. I picked the lower right hand of the plane I was working on as my basepoint for the rotation.

Create work planes by choosing create plane then click and edge and specify the angle required.
