'DIHEDRAL' CHAMFER

[Robbo1971]

How can I creat a 'Dihedral' chamfer onto the end of a pipe?

Have you tried a revolved cut using the pipe's temporary axis as the axis of revolution? Maybe a pic of what you are trying would help us out here.

See attached photo...

chamfer at top is on the outside, chamfer at the bottom is on the inside... reverses on the centre line of the pipe.

Sounds like you will have better control of this using a revolve cut instead of a chamfer feature. The sketch of the revolve will allow you to keep the chamfer centered.

I don't think a revolve-cut will work. Looks like a job for an in-context cut or an Indent feature.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

Just using two chamfers (with the Propagation option de-selected) should be close enough?

Spoke too soon w/o looking at picture!

Sweep w/ guide curves should work. Unfortunately, explaining is difficult (probably more difficult than the actual feature).
