Chamfer

To produce a Chamfer in the Main Menu select Operations - > Transformation - > Chamfer

This operation allows you to make chamfer of the edges of a Shape.

The Result will be a GEOM_Object.

To create chamfer on all edges of the given shape, you need to define the Main Object to create a chamfer on and the Dimension (radius) of the chamfer.  

TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferAll(Shape, D)

Arguments: Name + 1 SHAPE + 1 value (Chamfer dimension).

In the algorithms below there exist two ways to define the Dimension of the Chamfer.

Firstly the Dimension can be defined via D1 and D2, which represent the offset on the first and the second face forming the edge.

Secondly the Dimension can be defined via D, which represents the offset on the first face, and the Angle, which is the angle between the first face and the chamfer plane.

To create chamfer on the edges lying between the specified faces of the given shape,  you need to define the Main Object to create a fillet on, select the two (or more) faces to which belongs the necessary common edge(s) in the viewer and define the Dimension of the Chamfer.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferEdge(Shape, D1, D2, Face1, Face2), where Shape is a shape to create a chamfer on, D1 is a chamfer size along Face1, D2 is a chamfer size along Face2 and Face1 and Face2 are indices of faces in Shape.

Alternative TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferEdge(Shape, D, Angle, Face1, Face2), where D is a chamfer size along Face1 and Angle is the angle between Face1 and the chamfer plane.

To create chamfer on the specified faces of the given shape,  you need to define the Main Object to create a fillet on, select the necessary faces the OCC Viewer and define the Dimension of the Chamfer.

TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferFaces(Shape, D1, D2, ListOfFaceID), where Shape is a shape to create chamfer on, D1 and D2  are chamfer sizes along faces from  ListOfFaceID. For each Edge Face1 and Face2 are defined basing on their indices.

Alternative TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferFaces(Shape, D, Angle, ListOfFaceID), where D is a chamfer size along Face1 and Angle is the angle between Face1 and the chamfer plane.

To create chamfer on an arbitrary set of edges of the given shape you need to define the Main Object to create a fillet on, select the necessary edges in the OCC Viewer and define the Dimension of the Chamfer.   

TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferEdges(Shape, D1, D2, ListOfEdgeID), where Shape is a shape to create a chamfer on, D1 and D2 are chamfer sizes faces defined by the algorithm basing on ListOfEdgeID, which is a list of  indices of edges in Shape. For each Edge the algorithm selects Face1 and Face2 basing on their indices.

Alternative TUI Command: geompy.MakeChamferEdges(Shape, D, Angle, ListOfEdgeID), where D is a chamfer size along Face1 and Angle is the angle between Face1 and the chamfer plane.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of the use of Transformation Operations.
