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

How about revolving a half circle around an axis to make a sphere?

Scarecrow,

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,

A half moon shape!! Of course.  Jeezus H, that was too easy.  Time to put on my lateral thinking cap.
Thanks for the help guys.
