How do I create a "reverse fillet"?

philip_longphilip_long Member Posts: 4
I am looking to model a pre-existing part. It has a gentle "reverse fillet". It's a gentle rising curve reaching to the back of the piece. I'm pretty new to CAD and Onshape, so I'm not even sure of the correct terminology. I am attaching a picture of the part and a screenshot of what I have so far. Thank you for the help! Here's the link as well

    I think just a big extruded remove would work.

    I think that might work! Thank you.

    @philip_long, in engineering parlance the "reverse fillet" that you describe is typically called a rib, or perphaps a gusset in some applications.  And you're in luck.  Onshape has a rib tool, purpose made for your task.  Refer to Part Studio 2 for an example.
