Trying to figure out way to taper layers between each other?

Post by GrannySShifting »

Not sure if thats best way to describe it but on this example it has the thin rim going around the entire circumference of the part, if I wanted it to be the pocket height at that far corner bolt hole around .400" thick (thats just currently surround by raised lip for no reason) and ramp up to the raised pad parts of the item @1.1" thick for example how would you do something like that?

You have to use Expressions to calculate the radius. Please note that the fillet cannot touch the hole, you need a tiny gap of e.g. 1/1000mm.
