Hi, I have a curve (part of a guitar body); and I want a deeper chamfer in the middle of the curve, and then I want it to taper on both ends of the curve. YES —- I saw previous posts; but these only show how to taper a chamfer on one end. I figured out how to scale ONE end and have the chamfer tri…

Here’s a possible workaround. I subtracted a cylinder that was angled at 45°. The radius of the cylinder is smaller than the radius of the contoured part you wish to have a tapered chamfer.

Thank you - the finished product is what I want. I’m not sure exactly how to get the cylinder positioned exactly where I need. I guess I can try to play around [more time]. I realize a tapered chamfer is rather complicated, but for a CAD tool it doesn’t seem too odd. Thanks Again

I understand what you are saying and what I had shown is a mere workaround. Here’s a variation that might help. Occasionally I will make a part semi-transparent to help me when performing a desired result. Interesting phenomenon is that the area where the Subtract took place ends up being semi-trans…

Mike……Thank you for this. Any suggestions on how to create the cylinder that “cuts” the tapered chamfer? Each side of the instrument is unique. My gut feel /guess is that I’m drawing a circle, that’ll extrude to make the cylinder……but I’m not certain how/where to draw it? Perhaps two points in th…

I had a similar idea to Mike but when I looked - he’d done it better… But I did think that you could create the “cylinder” by copy/moving the curves from the side of your original guitar body sketch and using that as the curved edge. Once you have this curved line, add a chord between its ends to …

WOW!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I’ll say it backwards: WOW!!

I do want to say to the Sharpr 3D folks monitoring……… we need a work around here. This is a sort of work around, but it’s not MEASURABLE; that is I’m cutting a shape with another shape, but I can’t measure and get the “cut” or the chamfer I want. With the chamfer tool, you tell it. PLEASE - while…

I tried…… I followed, or as closely followed as I could, the video. Here’s the end results: something kinda what I want……but again, it’s not a MEASURED chamfer. [insert crying icon here; get out Fusion 360] [image] [image] [image]

I think you can obtain a measured chamfer by following @KPeter method on your other post. [image] Weird Behavior with Tapered Chamfer Need help? We are here. So……I tried performing a tapered chamfer, as I have seen in other posts/tutorials on line. But something weird is h…

@VmusicV what about using the scale tool? [image] [image] Then you can manipulate the size with a combination of adding more chamfer and rescaling. [image] [image] Edit: I just noticed your points on scaling, so this might not be what you’re looking for.

Well……OK, Houston we have a problem……

So I suspect because my curve is NOT symmetrical - but the scale here doesn’t work. You can see the pic below. Now I’m kind back to square one……
