Chamfer transition two planes

george_3george_3 Member Posts: 8
I'm trying to finalize a part and have run into a scenario that is giving me problems.  I've attached two screenshots, in the screenshot with red circle you can see the chamfer terminates and it's not pretty.  I'd like to transition the chamfer around the whole that is on a feature that is at a different angle.  I also attached a screenshot without the chamfer.  I've played with trying to create surfaces that I could extrude to but haven't gotten the result I'm looking for (admittedly novice with surfacing).  Any ideas?  Thanx in advance.

    I believe that some direct editing operations such as move face or replace face could solve this problem. Try replace surface and select the flat face which contains the holes as surface to replace and then select chamfer surface for surface to replace with. If it doesn't work please share the document link. Let's have a look at it.

    I created similar geometry and get the same result.

    Not sure if this what you are after but by performing a split face and move I achieved this.

    Thanks!!  Yes that gave me a clean surface at that juncture.  I also need to chamfer the edge on the upper portion which gives me a result that isn't quite what I want.  Any ideas how to make the upper chamfer look better?  In attached screenshot I marked where chamfer lower edge is.  If I could somehow just make that lower edge of chamfer be where the two features meet that would be ideal.  Just sketch it as a revolve cut? Guess I would have to raise the height of upper feature.  Thanks for the help, I have so much too learn  :#.
