7.6.2.12.6.5. Blends whose edges meet with different size each

[Note]Note

If intersecting edges are to have different sizes, this cannot be achieved by using the blend feature alone, but only through the combined use of basic extrusion (sketch) and blend.

Example:

  1. The following figure shows that a fillet has already been created by sketch (green marking).

  2. Select further edges to be rounded on the 3D model (red marking) and call up the Create new chamfer/rounding [New Chamfer/Fillet...]... command in the context menu. in the context menu.

  3. Result:

    In the 3D history [3D History], you can see which mode was used for what.

    Larger fillet created by sketch

    Larger fillet created by sketch

    Smaller fillet created by Blend

    Smaller fillet created by Blend

[Note]Note

Chamfers/fillets, which follow only one axis, should be created by sketch. Chamfers/fillets, which go along at several axes should be created by the Blend feature. The latter ones could not be directly integrated into the sketch by geometrical reasons. An extrude can only model a chamfer/fillet in direction of extrusion.

Valid for fillets and chamfers.
