Attempting a new area and needing some help!
Attempting a new area and needing some help!
(OP)
I am working in an area that I have never messed with before and am hoping that someone here can help me out.
I am working on some drawings to send out to casting companies for quotes, etc. The first part I'm working on is a ball joint type of connection.
I have attached a pdf of what I have so far, but you can see I am needing to "blend" the flat surfaces into the ball surface.
How would I do this, and does solidworks have any tutorial on this?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

I have no idea where in the tutorials to look for what I am trying to do.
My solidworks experience has been exclusivly in the sheet metal area, so I am trying to fumble through this.

I click on the link to download, I get...
"Duplicate headers received from server
The response from the server contained duplicate headers. This problem is generally the result of a misconfigured website or proxy. Only the website or proxy administrator can fix this issue.
Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks.
I'll go with the other's to resolve your issue.

The important thig is to not try and add all fillets at the same time. use multiple features. and try to turn off "tangent propagation" to see if you get better results in some freatures.
the other solution is to sketch 3d curves onto all faces you want to smooth between and make a surface that is tangential to its surounding but fillet is easiest by far if it gives you good enough results.

The jpeg looks almost like I envision
it to look in my head.
I will give this all a shot.
Thanks again to everyone.

Are you using Google Chrome? I didn't get the error using Internet Explorer 8
