Chamfer (Two Distances)

john_mcclary

So in solidworks when you need to have a chamfer that is not 45° you have the option to flip the direction at each edge.

I don't see a way to flip each edge independent, it only flips all of them.
It sucks because all but one edge is wrong

I'd hate to have to have an individual feature for each edge, and surely don't want to have two features, one for normal and the other for opposite direction, then have random selections in the list to suit whichever ones need to be changed.

Is the a trick to flip one edge that I don't see? Or is this in need of an improvement request?

Yeah that's pretty weird. You definitely can't flip individual chamfers, but I also can't figure out the logic behind why some are one way vs the other. It seems to depend on common surfaces shared by multiple edges and the edge selection order. In the meantime, you can add multiple chamfers, but I know that's not the most elegant solution.

I put in an IR here anyways:

Yea, internal references get wonky sometimes.

Even thought those two parts are the same sketch, and same extrude feature

I was more or less wondering if someone had a custom chamfer feature that was better

Hi guys,

This already has a fair number of support tickets on it through the 'Feedback' tool.  Thanks for adding the IR as well.  It would be doable to make a custom feature with flippers on each of the edges, but it may look sort of wonky

If I have some free time I'll give it a shot.
