Fusion 360 help please.

I'm stuck again!

I am happy with my hub cap design, but thought it might be nice to match the design of the original, with the chamfered top edge. I can't find a way to do it though.

I don't know a Fusion way (as I don't use Fusion), but one that will work in absolutely any CAD software (even FreeCAD) would be to make a fillet in a sketch and do a revolved cut around the central axis.

Sketch a bit like this (sketch plane goes through the middle of the nut; the arc is constrained to be tangential to the top and side):

Revolve:

Result:

Ah, so we make a cutting tool then. Thanks for that, I will experiment next session.

Yep, that's the way to do it in F360 too. (Straight line, rather than an arc for the geometry in ajelectronics' photos though - create the sketch then 'Revolve' the section in the corner around the axis of the part.)

I think I understand...
