Chamfer References and Attachment Types
The following table provides possible attachment types based on geometric references:
 
* The system overrides the attachment type settings that you select if it cannot perform the action requested due to geometrical limitations.
Chamfer References and Attachment Types
Geometric References
Default Attachment Type
Optional Attachment Type
Capped Ends
Solid-Solid
Solid
Creates chamfer geometry to the limit of the reference set, extends it to any capping surfaces if possible. If necessary, it is capped with a triangular patch and made into solid geometry
Surface
Changes the default solid to a surface.
Create end surfaces (Options tab check box)
Creates end surfaces to cap all of the chamfer piece ends of the entire chamfer feature.
You can use this option if the solid chamfer fails.
Solid-Quilt
New quilt
Creates chamfer geometry to the limit of the set, trims it at a straight line in space, and does not cap it with a triangular patch. The surface is unattached.
N/A
N/A
Quilt-Quilt (same quilt)
Same quilt
Creates chamfer geometry to the limit of the set, trims it at a straight line in space, and does not cap it with a triangular patch. The surface is merged into the existing quilt.
New quilt
Changes the default merged quilt into a new surface.
Create end surfaces (Options tab check box)
Creates end surfaces to cap all of the chamfer piece ends of the entire chamfer feature.
 
* Side surfaces must exist in order to extend and use them as capping surfaces. If not, the chamfer a piece ends cannot be capped. For example, an L-shaped open quilt cannot be capped.
You can use this option if the solid chamfer fails.
Quilt-Quilt (different quilts)
New quilt
Creates temporary chamfer geometry to the limit of the set, trims it at a straight line in space, and does not cap it with a triangular patch. The surface is not merged into the existing quilt.
