Next you will create a fillet surface at the bottom of the dial opening. First, you need to change the side of the surface arrows so they point towards the inside so that the fillet will be created on the inside of the surfaces. In the illustration below, you can see that the arrows are currently pointing towards the outside. Note: The direction of the surface arrows may differ depending on how the chain was selected. Therefore the surfaces that you created may have a different direction than that shown below. Both arrows should point towards the inside before the fillet is created. 8 On the Edit menu, click Surfaces 9 Click Side 106 | Get <strong>Started</strong> with <strong>SURFCAM</strong>
