HDEAR Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I've been playing around with the chamfer feature trying to get a chamfered corner and tapering along adjacent sides looking like this. I only need this in two corners. The rest of the block top must have sharp edges. I can't get anything to work, but I know it can be done. Could someone please show me how this is done - video would be nice if poss.? I have attached a simple block in ICS that I want to apply it to. Many thanks - Harley Fan block.ics Edited December 30, 2021 by HDEAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have never seen the ability to make such a chamfer. Has anyone seen this in IronCAD or any other CAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eds Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Did this with a boolean remove/subtract back in Solidworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get somewhat close with cut extrude, not perfect, but will do for the prototype. Happy New Year all. Harley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Happy New Year Harley, You can achieve this using a "Variable Chamfer"; however,you'll need to add some extra steps to the construction of your part. See the attached video and IC2022 scene files.

HDEAR Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Thanks Malcolm. I looked at the Variable chamfer and couldn't figure how to get the right result. Your method works great. Harley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
