Q. I would like to apply chamfer/fillet to the edge of the object.

 

A. Use the Edit tab under Edit Edge > Chamfer to perform the operation.

 

  • Chamfer or fillet is applied to the geometry edge of a 1D object (wire or 1D member) or a 2D object (surface and 2D member).

  • For separated edges, the feature operates by selecting each edge, and for continuous edges (Poly Line or surface edges), both edges and vertices can be selected.

  • For separated edges, continuous objects are formed when the Merge to PolyLine option is checked under Options. For continuous edges, a continuous edge is formed regardless of whether or not the Option is checked.

  • Select two edges to create

  • Create as separate objects

  • Convert to a continuous object when Merge to Polyline is checked

     

  • Select either the two edges or a vertex to create

  • Create as a continuous object

  • Select the two edges or a vertex to create

  • Create as separate objects

  • Convert to a continuous object when Merge to Polyline is checked
