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
