Menu : SURFACE

Command: Design:Fillet

Shortcut : None

This command automatically rounds off some or all the sharp corners of the surface.

A parameter box appears requesting whether you wish to fillet all edges simultaneously, or only the ones in the cross-wise or the lengthwise surface direction.

Another parameter specifies whether a single radius should be used for all rounds, or whether you want to specify each rounding interactively. In the latter case, the program displays a profile of the surface in the chosen direction, and asks for the radius of each sharp corner.

A third parameter specifies the radius, which only applies to the global rounding operation.

Note: Only relatively small radii may be used for filleting. If there is not enough room for the fillet between the surfaces cross-wise or lengthwise curves, the command may produce unexpected results.
