    Variable Radius

    Hi Guys,

    I am quiet new using Solidworks and doesn't have formal training. I learn it by myself.
    Now I'm stumble upon a problem of creating some sort of variable radius on my part.

    I attached 2 files, 1 is .dwg file and the other is solidworks part file.
    On .dwg file , I have 3 colors of entities. :
    Red is to be R8, Blue is to be R3 and Yellow is to be a progression radius.

    Hope you guys can help me with this, and please forgive my bad english.
    Thanks in advance

    Best regards,

    A variable radius will not work where there is a partial radius. You will need to do a cut-loft I think. Create your different profiles at the start and stop of the different radiuses and use the corner edge as a guide curve. See the help menu.

    Good Luck
