Unable to create fillet

Post by Noob007 »

Esteemed FreeCAD-proficiency Havers,

I have hit a snag in my project, and am unable to create a fillet. I can't figure it out because I am able to create a fillet on the left side (what I believe is 100% symmetrical), as shown in the below picture, but not on the right side.

I have also attached the file.

I would appreciate any advice from anyone able to figure out this riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

Thank you,
Noob

Can you paste the FreeCAD info so that we know which FreeCAD version and which OS you use ? This is crucial in the case of suspected bugs.

Since the part is symmetrical, as a workaround you could model half of it and then use the mirror tool to get the other half.

Overly-complicated sketches.

Thanks NewJoker. I've pasted my FreeCAD info below.

I'd appreciate any other ideas, if you can think of anything. I have a whole nother part like this that I cannot get the fillet on, so I can't use the mirror feature for that one.

Wow, how did you do that? And, any idea on why it looks kind of bumpy?

Couldn't agree more. Definitely something I'm looking forward to improving.
