I want to create a 3D model of an assortment box and the joins of the walls are too fragile when 3D-printed so I decided to add a small triangular "edge". For the vertical edges, I used a base shape and created a radius and then padded the whole thing in Z, that works fine as you can see in the sketches. However, I could not figure out an easy way to create a similar shape on the bottom, so this is what I did:
- Create a new part and draw a triangle in Sketch Mode (the tiny thing in the lower right part of the whole box)
- Create a pad of this tiny triangle with the length of the box (this is already annoying since I have no reference to the original shape and cannot use "pad -> to last face"
- Create a datum plane in the middle (also annoying since hardcoded offset and no reference to whatsoever)
- Mirror the pad to the other side
This however gives me that transparent red shape and an error: One transformed edge does not intersect support (Transformation failed).
I searched around but I am very confused about the explanations and could not make a sense of my situation.
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? Alternatively, as written above, I am glad to hear how to solve this issue in a more elegant way. I also tried to attach a new sketch to the front of the box but it did not let me do so. I guess I am missing a lot of conceptional understanding...
Thanks in advance!
