Variable Fillets

Variable Fillets

Variable Fillets

(OP)
Does any one if you can use a variable radius to not just change the fillet radius along the edge but to make the radius themselves non constant.

I mean have the distance the fillet extends be longer on one surface than the other?

RE: Variable Fillets

Sounds like you'll need to use a Swept or Lofted Cut.

RE: Variable Fillets

(OP)
So there is no command that can do this in Solidworks?

It is going to be extremely difficult to make this fillet by a sweep. I'd be pulling my hair out.

RE: Variable Fillets

If a sweep will not work,
You can add a chamfer with different length legs, then you can add fillets to the chamfer?
