How do I round this edge?

ravindra_wankar

Hello,

I'm quite new to 3D Cad and have a really basic question. How do I round the edge of this shape to look like the second image? The shape was created using a spline and the rotate tool. I then used the thicken tool to make it thick. I first tried to curve the edge of the spline and then rotate it but I couldn't do that. The spline was created using the Read CSV feature so I couldn't get that into a sketch.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi @ravindra_wankar, Welcome to Onshape! Try something like this:

• Edit Sketch 1 and constrain your rounded end.
• Edit Revolve 2 so that it has the new geometry.
• Edit Thicken 1 so that it thickens the new surface.

Note: When making feature selections, if you select the sketch from the tree instead of individual sketch entities from the graphics area, it will automatically update the feature for future sketch changes. This is the same with surfaces, select the surface from the tree instead so that it will automatically update the feature with future changes.

@Hans_Leirvik_1, I'm using the free version and it says all my documents will be public.

@MichaelPascoe, thanks a lot. I tried that and it works well.

I just realised that the link to the document posted by @Hans_Leirvik_1 was not my doc but meant to be a solution. I too wasn't able to access it.
