Hi Burr,

I wouldn't be surprised if they would incorporate it at some point actually... It seems that they are recognizing that the regular fillet would self-intersect and at least trying to do something about it.

It actually tends to be better to get a result back even with those little ripples in it rather than nothing at all because then you may be able to do some surgery on it to trim out the bad part and fill it in with something else.


One of the more interesting parts of this is not really so much that MoI's filleter can generate this case better (which is going to be a rather rare occurrence), but rather that you can actually see the little ripples with MoI's regular display rather than having to go to a special analysis mode or possibly not even being able to see it at all in some programs even in analysis modes.
