half moon extrusion on flat face
half moon extrusion on flat face
(OP)
Hi all,
i'm new to solidworks, (acad user). I'm designing products for my company www.scatmat.com. Currently i am trying to create a series of ball extrusions on a flat face. I managed to get a rectangular extrusion ok, but it won't let me put the fillets in that would turn the rectangle into a sphere???
Any takers on this
Thanks

You can't make fillets that are so big that the line will no longer exist. That's why you use an arc instead of two fillets and a line. Like what ecampos has posted above. You make the half moon shape and a line connecting the two endspoints. Then you can either rotate them about an axis you make, or use a temporary axis. And walla a sphere.
Hope that helps,
