Putting on a 1/4 concave edge

Post by vasko »

Need help in putting a 1/4 concave edge to a rectangular 3/4 inch component.
How is it done in Aspire.

Thank you

There are a couple of ways, the easiest is to use a form tool and follow the outline of the desired rectangle. For 3D carving, you can use the rail sweep tool. Just create 2 rectangles that represent the beginning and end of the edge (the part that is curved) then create a 3rd vector that is the shape you want (the 1/4" concave) and run the sweep.

If you need more details let us know.
