Great tutorial.

But I have trouble to fillet the first leg.

It kept saying ‘Laminar edge cannot be filleted’.

Then I tried to use ‘Fill’ the loft.

Still not working.

I could not even make circular pattern. It wouldn’t let me select the loft feature..

Please help. thanks

Hi, thanks for your message. I recommend you to decrease the size of the fillet to 18mm

and try it again. Let me know if it works. Thanks, Jan
