Hi photo,

> Is there another solution that doesn't involve unistalling explorer?

Yes - as mentioned above just maximizing the MoI window may prevent the "blank initial UI" problem from happening, even when IE9 is installed.

You just need to maximize the window and leave it maximized when you close it so that it starts up maximized.

Did you try that and it didn't work?

The Internet Explorer thing only has to do with the "UI initially blank" problem, it doesn't have anything to do with filleting.

It's probably likely that you just happened to avoid the particular problem you ran into in v2 when you were testing v3.

Like for example maybe you missed selecting one small edge piece before doing the fillet in v2 but didn't miss selecting any when in v3.

It's hard for me to know for sure what you ran into without having a file to test with though.

Not really - there's quite a lot of different things that can cause problems - surfaces with messy control point structure, self intersecting surfaces like ones that wrinkle or fold over themselves, having a complex corner structure with too many edges branching out from a single shared point so that the fillet engine doesn't know how to form the corner patch between them, not having enough space for the fillet to fit, making a fillet that would try to completely eat away all of any other other edge or face, not selecting the full sequence of edges, and I'm sure plenty more things...

There are so many different possibilities that usually the best way for me to help is by seeing the model file where you are currently having problems - being able to see the actual example (the 3DM model file, not just a screenshot) allows me to give you much more specific advice.

Maybe in the future at some point I'll be able to create some additional documentation that goes over all of these different problem areas, but it takes quite a bit of work to make stuff like that. Right now your best bet is to post a model file.
