- [Instructor] We're staying in our OfficeLayout2.DWG file.
And in the previous video,
we set up the boundary for our hard standing over here
in the area outside the building.
This time we're going to look at the reception area
with the desk and the chair and the other desk,
and we've got the computer there as well.
So as zoom in a little bit, little trick here,
get the cross hair over the area you want to zoom in on
and then just roll up on the wheel of your mouse.
As you can see it uses the cross hair
as the center of the zoom.
Now what we're going to do,
we're going to take a little look at
filet and chamfer in AutoCAD.
Filet allows you to add curved radii to corners of objects.
Chamfer allows you to add beveled edges
to corners of objects.
So we've got two poly lines,
we've got this one here and we've got this one here
they both represent desks.
So what we're going to do,
we're going to add fileted corners to one desk
and chamfered corners to the other desk.
And we're going to do this individually.
Now there is a nice feature both in filet and chamfer
that allows you to filet or chamfer
all corners of a closed poly line.
Now we could do that,
we could obviously do all the corners
but these desks are actually fixed to the wall here.
So we only need it on these corners here like so,
otherwise we end up with some weird little gaps
at the corners.
One thing I'm going to do,
I'm going to turn off my selection cycling down here now,
we don't need it anymore.
And we're going to go and do a fileted set of corners
on the left hand desk here.
You'll find filet and chamfer on the modify panel
on the home tab on the ribbon, on this little fly out here.
So I'm going to go to filet like so
and come into the drawing area.
The first thing I do is right click,
I then select radius,
the radius we want in this case is one five zero, 150.
It's a metric millimeters drawing.
So that's roughly six inches.
So we're going to press enter.
And then what we do is we right click on multiple
so that we can do multiple filets
rather than just do one filet
and then have to repeat the command.
So I then click on the lines that I want to form my filets,
so I'm going to click on this line followed by this line
and do the same this line and this line.
Press enter to finish.
And as you can see, we've got some nice
fileted corners on that at particular desk.
The workflow for chamfer is virtually identical
but you're specifying distances rather than a radius.
So we're going to go up to the flyer again on the modify panel
and select chamfer this time.
Come into the drawing area and it's a right click.
Now there's two methods of chamfering,
you have the distance method
and you have the angle method.
For this particular exercise,
we're going to use the distance method.
So the distance method, you specify two distances
and it draws a chamfered corner to those two distances,
the angle method you specify a distance
followed by an angle.
So you see how they both work,
you can toggle between the methods
by using method on the shortcut menu as well.
So all I'm going to do now is just go to distance
and specify my parameters for my distance chamfer.
So the first chamfer distance will be one five zero,
150, press enter.
You'll notice the second chamfer distance
automatically picks up the first chamfer distance.
So I can type in 150 again, but I don't need to,
so I'll press enter.
Now it's prompting me to select
the first line of the chamfer
just like with filets we're going to right click
and use the multiple option on the shortcut menu.
And we're literally going to do the same workflow
line here, line here, line here, line here,
enter to finish and you've now chamfered the desk
in the reception area.
Saying C the obvious difference there
between filet and chamfer,
filet uses a radius, chamfer uses distances
or if you are using the other method, distance and an angle.
