Chamfer Feature





Used to construct a chamfer on one or more edges of a feature-based solid.

  • To delete chamfers, use the Delete Feature tool.
  • To edit chamfers, use the Modify Parametric Solid or Feature tool or edit within the Feature Manager tree. This tool allows you to change the parameters used to initially construct the chamfer.


SettingDescription
Method Sets the method for defining the chamfer.
  • Chamfer Length — Sets the chamfer’s length. The angle is always 45.
  • Distances — Sets the distance to trim back each face.
  • Distance and Angle — Sets the distance to trim back from one face and the chamfer’s angle.


    Chamfer settings. L = Length. D1 = Distance from one face. D2 = Distance from the second face. Θ = Angle from face to chamfer.

  • Equal Distances — Sets the distance to trim back both faces.
Add Smooth Edges If on, edges that are tangentially continuous are chamfered in one operation. If off, only the selected section of the edge is chamfered.


Upper: Selecting an edge to chamfer (1). | Lower left: Chamfer with Smooth Edges off. Lower right: Chamfer with Smooth Edges on.

Reverse Chamfer (Distances only) When Distance 1 and Distance 2 differ, reverses the direction of the chamfer and the value that the faces are trimmed.
Length (Chamfer Length only) Sets the chamfer’s length.
Distance 1, Distance 2 (Distances only) Sets the distances to trim back the faces.
Distance (Distance and Angle; Equal Distance) Sets the distance to trim back faces.
Angle (Distance and Angle only) Sets the chamfer’s angle, which must be greater than 0 and less than 90.
