Sometimes you would like to see a radius in an assembly were parts are welded together. For illustration purposes or to create a better looking render of your design.
This is how:
- Create your parts and assembly as you normally would.
- create new part, menu: feature > boolean > unite and select the assembly you want to use. Menu: edit > commit to accept.
- add a fillet radius to all edges where you want a weld to appear. Other features can also be used to create a visual appearance of a weld (sweep, revolve etc).
For rendering this also speeds up the material adding as the whole assembly is now treated as one part.
