Creating a Solid Blend Corner

You can create a blend corner and redesign the solid.

Note: Depending on your role, you may not have access to this functionality.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:

Create a 3D shape containing the corners to be blended.

Create a Solid Blend Corner using the Point Creation Mode

  1. Click Blend Corner from the Refine section of the action bar.
  2. Select the Point creation mode.
  3. Select two or more faces.

    Important: All the selected faces must belong to the same global support.



  4. Click Preview.


  5. In the table containing the list of sections, you can:

    • Select any section and replace it with another section.
    • Click to remove the selected section in the table.
    • Click to reverse the orientation of the selected section.

  6. Move the handle arrows to edit the point on the surface.


  7. Click Reverse sew result to inverse the orientation of the blend corner.
  8. Click OK.


Create a Solid Blend Corner using the Setback Creation Mode

You can assign a setback distance to define the section positioning of the blend corner and thus avoid impacting the blend corner shape when modifying the support fillet face.

  1. Click Blend Corner from the Refine section of the action bar.
  2. Select the Setback creation mode.
  3. Select two or more faces.
  4. In the table containing the list of sections, you can:

    • Select a section and specify the setback value.
    • Select any section and replace it with another section.
    • Click to remove the selected section in the table.
    • Click to reverse the orientation of the selected section.

  5. Click Preview.
  6. From the table containing the list of sections, select the modified face and click Apply current to all.
  7. Click Reverse sew result to inverse the orientation of the blend corner.
  8. Click OK.

    Recommendation: To achieve consistent results, create the blend corner using Setback mode. In Point mode, the position of the points may vary according to your selection and hence the surface generated may be different each time you create a blend corner.



  9. Double-click a setback element of the blend corner feature in the tree and change the value in the box.
  10. Click OK and then click Update in the action bar.
