To Define a Chamfer Attachment Type
1. Select the references for the chamfer, and on the Model tab, click the arrow next to Chamfer and click Edge Chamfer. The Edge Chamfer tab opens.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Under Attachment, select one of the following attachment types for the chamfer feature:
◦ Solid—You must select solids as references.
◦ Surface—You must select solids as references.
◦ New quilt—You must select a surface quilt as one of your references.
◦ Same quilt—You must select references from the same surface quilt.
4. If you selected the Surface or New quilt attachment type, you can click the Create end surfaces check box to create end surfaces to cap all of the chamfer piece ends of the entire chamfer feature. This check box is cleared by default.
 
• Side surfaces must exist in order to extend and use them as capping surfaces. If not, the chamfer piece ends cannot be capped.
• This check box is different from the Capped check box on the Edge Chamfer tab and the Capped shortcut menu command. The latter two enable you to create end surfaces to cap the gaps between active transition and part geometry.
• You cannot cap chamfers between a solid surface and a quilt surface.
5. At this point, the attachment type is defined. You can continue to work with chamfer sets, or click to save your changes, create the chamfer, and close the Chamfer tool.
