Blending a radius to a corner

[Chrizziss]

In this modelI am working on there is along square handlethat i would like to put a .125 radius on all four corners fromthe endup to4 inchesin. At that point i would like the radius to blend back to a "sharp" corner. How do I do that?


Thanks

One way would be to create a round transition that stops at the desired point and then create a variable section sweep using the methods described in the following topic to create the desired transition:

You could also sketch a curve on the surface and select through curve on the Sets tab of the round definition and select the sketched curve as the driving curve.

Another method:
Cut the edge where you want the radius to stop. Use variable radius which ends in radius 0. Use remove to fill in cut edge.

Very cool. Thank you both for the help.
