Hi Psygorn,

re:

I'm not able to repeat that over here, see my examples above where all edges are being targeted, fillet is working ok then.

Can you show me a case with your objects where it's not working when all the edges coming off of a single vertex location are being filleted instead of only some of them?

Well like I mentioned above when only some of the edges at a juncture area are being filleted it's a much more difficult case for the filleter to handle because it needs to do more work to extend and intersect fillet surfaces against each other. Those are pretty difficult calculations. As to exactly why it works for the fillet surfaces on your pentagonal cases and not your hexagonal ones, that's probably some sort of bug in the fillet intersector. It would probably take me something like 20 to 30 hours of investigatory work to try and answer it any better than that.
