machining operation breaks
I've created a parametric mullion and I have a chamfer machining operation that breaks when the mullion parameters changes from 60"H to 61"H, what would cause that?

Re: machining operation breaks
Hi Robert, We don't use the molding process because we don't have any machining processes associated with it so I can't say why it doesn't work. However I would have done this with the groove function using a 45 degree cutter running on center. I tried this and it works fine. However, it might not be a solution for a more complicated profile. See the attached file.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Wow, that worked great, thank you! I have TS 2013 so I was not able to open your file but when I applied the groove tool to my mullion it worked great.
I have been using the chamfer or the molding tool on my mullions and I would get boolean operation failures often. The groove tool seems like a more stable operation than the others.
