AutoCAD/chamfer a solid

Expert: - 5/10/2005


Question
I am drawing in 3D, (ADT 2005)trying to show a 3/4" chamfer on a 6' long 4"x4". However I want the chamfer to start and end, 5" from each end of the 4"x4".
Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank You,
Dave

Answer
Hi Dave, try instead of using the chamfer command, create a chamfer profile on one corner then do an extrude cut to 5". do a polar array on that feature for the other 4 corners. Finally, create a mirrored array feature for the other end. hope this helps.
