Hello,
I'm trying to create a 3D model of a bracket. At the moment I have a structual support or a rib (drawn using MESH then CONVTOSURFACE) that joins two solids together.
What I would like to do is fillet the 90 degree edges where objects meet. This would be a realistic representation of welding.
However, Autocad says "cannot blend this edge". Autocad doesn't even say why?
I've tried converting everything into a surface then use SURFFILET.
But Autocad then says "cannot create a fillet surface of radius 3.00 from the selected surfaces." I'm guessing Autocad means the fillet radius is too big. However Autocad must be looking at all edges rather than the one specific edge I want.
When I try to turn the rib into a solid using CONVTOSOLID . Autocad says "3 objects cannot be converted". As far as I'm concerned the rib is a closed box with no overlaps.
Any ideas how I can overcome this?
At the moment, I'm studying CADD at college and it seems most of my efforts are working around around Autocads niggles to get the outcome you want
Thanks,
Ben.
