Fillet Issues - Links go out of allowed scope

[chrisb]

I still try to Part->Explode the compound, this took already half an hour and is still running. You may try in parallel, perhaps your machine/OS will handle it better. The result should be two solids - of which at least one will show the errors from above; most probably they are caused by the fillets.

I think I'll have to just overhaul the design. It's a pretty stupid limitation though. The PartDesign should have a variable radii option.

Not sure variable radii changes something. Actually the fact is that one of the face disappeared along the edge (where cylinder & square are tangent). Thus no valid radii value can match such an equation...

Killed the process; my colleages complained about the fan spinning with 100%.

You need a new fan Have you forgotten "Enable STEP Compound merge"? STEP imports as wto solids here without problems. And works as body basefeature if added geometry does not touch the broken one.

File gets too big and no point to include it.
Here is a realisation of my idea in previous post. All in PD. I reconstrained some of the sketches.

Christ.

Unchecking STEP compound merge did it. It did the entire thing I was trying to do, getting the fan out of it.

Damn. Thanks! Even made both things solids.

And seeing how you did it I understand better what you meant now.
I made some changes to the design so I could fillet it. I really appreciate it thanks!

I could use the fan modeled here .

Have you forgotten "Enable STEP Compound merge"?

It is enabled. I can extract things from the compound using a compound filter

Can you explode the compound?

I wonder if that part was done with a loft.

It should not be. Then compound is imported as separate solids and there is no need to explode it.

I succeeded filleting after introducing ever so tiny straight edges in the circle. I could not get it working with PartDesign fillet, I had to use Part fillets. If you want to look at the sketch, you have to change DisplayModeBody from Tip to Through in the view properties.
