Hi Burr, well adding in a bazillion unusual options for creating specialized stuff would definitely be fun, but as each one is added the user experience for creating the more normal stuff gets degraded a little bit, because it then becomes more difficult to find the "normal stuff" amid the huge sea of unusual and "cool" specialty functions.

So there's actually a negative price to be paid for adding in options for every conceivable kind of thing...

I know that you're only talking about adding in one at this point and not a bazillion, but that's how you end up with a bunch, by just adding in one at a time... :)


re: how to make a bead - I'm not sure that simply rotating a regular fillet by 180 degrees would actually do the proper job in all cases actually... One thing to be aware of is that a fillet is not always made up of a single arc in all spots like in the case you showed there. When thing are at different angles to one another they will draw out arcs that have different subtended angles in them (like some arcs are longer than others), like for stuff like this:
