[Solved] How to fillet inner corner between body and solid?

Post by PelegS »

Hello,
I tried make a fillet on the inner corners between the solid cone and the body (marked in red). The result was a rounded outer corner, as the body is a single body. How do I relate to the solid and body as one, and make a fillet between them?
Thanks

Hi. You should first make a boolean union between the cone and the Body then you'll be able to add fillet.
Notice that it would have be better to set the code as BaseFeature of the body. Even better to model your cone with PartDesign tools. ;)

Hi
1st place the cone and pad in the same body (click, slip the cone on the name body)
Maybe , you must centre pad (mideplan = true)
and select all corner (maxi2)

Thanks openBrain! That works. I don't have a clue, how to make the cone a BaseFeature or how to model a cone. I would appreciate some hints.
BTW, how can I mark a post as solved in this forum?

That's answer the BaseFeature question, I've asked openBrain. How do you select all corners? I use a tedious method of fishing each line with the mouse.

When it's done at creation time, you basically select the cone and click on "create a body". To do it afterwards, you can edit the BaseFeature property of the body.
Have a look at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/PartDes ... se_Feature

or how to model a cone. I would appreciate some hints.

A cone is basically a PartDesign Revolution of a triangular sketch. It also exists in the PartDesign CompPrimitiveAdditive

Edit your OP and prepend "[Solved]" to its title. ;)
