Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me with something in inventor 2020, I have created a Bearing and I have created a rectangular solid within the bearing and I am trying to fillet all 4 corners of the rectangular solid to create a round ball bearing. After I create the first fillet to the desired angle when I go to do the opposite side of the rectangular solid the fillet function creates the fillet in the wrong direction, I have tried to resolve this for a few hours now to no avail could anyone help as this is really frustrating.
Please see attached screen shot.
Thanks

You can not create round ball from rectangular solid.
If you want dia 10 ball then create a square box of 10mm & fillet all edges with radius of 4.99mm (5mm radius will fail)
I have attached image of the same.
