Those things look kind of off to be honest. I have thought AI androids had the Doctor Who Dalek problem. How can they rebel and take over if they can't even navigate stairs?

Re: How to Delete Rounds in Solidworks? Cannot get FilletXpert to select the round.
For some reason SW cannot patch when I delete that top radius like you showed. Possibly due to 10deg draft on the sides, maybe because the rounds were not created in SW. I don't know. The delete & fill produces some rounded surface. Without seeing the data, I we don't know either... post a Para...
