I try to draw a button for an old radio. I am struggling with making a bevel at the top edge, as you can see from the picture it looks weird. How can i achieve a smooth bevel?
Create a cone, intersect faces and clean the unneeded geometry.
When i group the cone, it doesnt become a solid
3 clicks on it, not 2 (common mistake with round shapes).
also, select your non solid cone and click on solid inspector2 (if you don’t have it, it’s a must-have for solid modelling)
3 clicks and group doesnt make it solid. I am running the 2021 version, i dont think i can add extensions to that.
You don’t need extensions.
Are you using a Cr acked version of 2021?
Possibly i am
3 clicks- right click- group.
That should make a solid. Otherwise you need to install Thom Thom’s plugins to analyse/ fix it.
Ty all for the help, it brought me very close to the goal. I will work on why the group does not become solid.
Solved - the cone had a hole in the middle. Making the cone without that hole did the trick. Thanks again all.
