Items To Fillet
 |
Face Set 1 |
Select the first face or set of faces in the graphics area to blend.
|
|
Face Set 2 |
Select the faces in the graphics area to blend with Face Set 1.
If you select more than one face for either Face Set 1 or Face Set 2, each set of faces must be smoothly connected for the face fillet to properly propagate to all faces.

Partial preview |
Displays a fillet preview of one edge only. Press the A key to view each fillet preview in turn. |

Fillet Parameters
The
Fillet Method you select determines which parameters are available.
| Symmetric |
Creates a symmetric fillet defined by the radius. |
| Chord Width |
Creates a fillet that is defined by the chord width.
 |
 |
Face fillet defined by radius
|
Face fillet defined by chord width
|
|
| Asymmetric |
Creates an asymmetric fillet defined by two radii. |
| Hold Line |
Creates a face fillet whose shape is determined by a part edge or projected split line. |
Fillet Parameters - Symmetric
 |
Radius |
Sets the fillet radius. |
| |
Profile |
Sets the profile type to fillet. The profile defines the cross sectional shape of the fillet.
|
Conic Rho 
|
Sets the ratio that defines the weight of the curve. Enter a value between 0 and 1.
|
|
Conic Radius
|
Sets the radius of curvature at the shoulder point along the curve.
|
|
Curvature continuous
|
Creates a smoother curvature between adjacent surfaces. Curvature continuous fillets are smoother than standard fillets because there is no jump in curvature at the boundary.
|
|
Fillet Parameters - Chord Width
 |
Chord Width |
Sets the chord width of the fillet. |
| |
Profile |
Sets the profile type to fillet. The profile defines the cross sectional shape of the fillet.
|
Curvature continuous
|
Creates a smoother curvature between adjacent surfaces. Curvature continuous fillets are smoother than standard fillets because there is no jump in curvature at the boundary.
|
|
Fillet Parameters - Asymmetric
 |
Distance 1 |
Sets the radius for one side of the fillet. |
 |
Distance 2 |
Sets the radius for the other side of the fillet. |
 |
Reverse Direction |
Reverses which side of the fillet Distance 1 and Distance 2 define.
|
| |
Profile |
Sets the profile type to fillet. The profile defines the cross sectional shape of the fillet.
|
Conic Rho
|
Sets the ratio that defines the weight of the curve. Enter a value between 0 and 1.
|
|
Curvature continuous
|
Creates a smoother curvature between adjacent surfaces. Curvature continuous fillets are smoother than standard fillets because there is no jump in curvature at the boundary.
|
|
Fillet Parameters - Hold Line
| Hold Line Edges |
Select an edge on the part or a projected split line on a face as a boundary that determines the face fillet shape. The radius of the fillet is driven by the distance between the hold line and the edge to fillet.

| Profile |
Sets the profile type to fillet. The profile defines the cross sectional shape of the fillet.
|
Curvature continuous
|
Creates a smoother curvature between adjacent surfaces. Curvature continuous fillets are smoother than standard fillets because there is no jump in curvature at the boundary.
|
|
Fillet Options
| Select through faces |
Enables selection of edges through faces that hide edges. |
| Constant width |
Creates a fillet with a constant width.
|
|
Face fillet without constant width
|
Face fillet with constant width
|
|
| Help point |
Resolves an ambiguous selection when it may not be clear where the face blend should occur. Click in Help Point Vertex, then click a vertex on the side where you want the face fillet. A fillet is created at the location closer to the Help point. |
| Trim Surfaces (Surfaces only) |
Select one of the following:
|
Trim and attach
|
Trims the filleted faces and knits the surfaces into one surface body.
|
|
Don't trim or attach
|
Adds a new fillet surface, but does not trim the faces or knit the surfaces.
