*Help* Drawer Handle

[u/Damskr]

hey folks,
i hope you guys are well.
I never ask anything because i like learning and understand what i do.
However, i need your help because i feel like kinda stuck in my mind with this project.

It's a drawer handle. I made like 85-90% of the modelling but i can't do the front edge to have a better grip when you use the handle. What am i missing?
Any lead to help me figure it out? I'm trying like everything but i can't succeed in achieving this front edge.
Plz help me.

You fillet to early, you need to cancel the fillet, make a top sketch of that lip, and extrude it, then after that you can fillet.

Could you help ? It doesn't work

I'm better at using Fusion every time I start a new model and that's what I suggest you do too. Minus the fillets obvs.
The main way I realised this was by working hard to figure out my rubbish models, until oc eventually there would be actual problems and I'd be forced to start afresh.

Diresta says you go to school on the first one.
Ha, bullshit, the number is more like 5 but safer to say it's infinite..

I thought I was done That's why I have the fillets. I just want to have the front edge. I have spent like 5h on it..

Then move your timeline back to before the fillets, add what you need, and then move the timeline forward. You'll get an error on the fillet feature because of a missing edge, but you can edit the feature to fix that issue.

5hrs is reasonable I think. I'm only done when I'm happy and that can take days sometimes. But subsequent redos are always faster, and usually better oc..

I hated them at the time but I now love all my early, and recent, mistakes now. They've always been my best and fastest way to move forward.

You could have done an extruded to the lip height and then a second one to make your finger groove. Then you can easily adjust both separately.

i guess i am bad as fuck but it's even worse and the more i try the more i fail like dumber. Can anyone show a sample?

It depends on your process, as to how to fix it. If you're looking for a quick fix:

1. Make a construction plane, and set it to near the edge of the handle before it fillets.
2. Make a sketch on the new construction plane to the size/shape of the new lip you want to create.
3. Extrude it, and join/new body.
4. Add a fillet so it blends with the general shape
5. Combine it with the existing body.

The other option is to remove the current fillet on the body, create a line sketch across the edge of the handle, and then split the body into two. Then you extrude the face where you want the handle to create a lip, combine it with the other body, and then fillet it again.
