Hey yall,
I am having some trouble filleting a cylinder onto a curved solid, although I have been able to achieve the same fillet when using a straight solid.
I am trying to recreate a specific fillet/chamfer like the one shown in this picture.
I have been able to get the same look when attaching the cylindrical element to a straight solid, like a box primitive, or an extrusion from a closed curve. However, If I attach the cylinder to a curving solid, I am unable to get the same result.
I would love to know why this particular fillet wont calculate, because I feel there is something going on behind the scenes that I am missing. Moi3d provides several ways to make the same shape, but do some of these methods restrict what you can do with that shape moving forward? For instance, differences when creating that curved solid with booleans, or extrusion, or flow.
i LOVE Moi3d - and Ive overcome puzzles like this as my knowledge grows deeper. I have tried a ton of possibilities...Theres gotta be a way to make this fillet!
The original model comes from a free kitbash set provided by Vitaly Bulgarov. An absolute Moi3d GOD

There are so many questions that could be asked on this one. But i havent seemed to ask the right one yet.
...does the seam on the cylinder have to be in a specific place?
...is there a perfect number that for some reason wont infinitely calculate?
...Should it be a specific type of fillet?(Circular, G1, Constant..)
...Does the calculation just take a long time?
...is it effected by using non corner points in the creation of the solid?
...will this operation work better on a surface? instead of solid
...how does flow change what is possible ?
...do booleans create a fundamentally different object than extruding?
...Should i always start with a "draw solid" primitive?
.. is it curving too hard that i need different fillet values on each side, then a certain range will work for the connecting fillet?
etc etc etc.
Ive tried soO many variations
If you solve this one .. idk .. ill bake you a cake or somethin! =)
THANKS
ps. the attached .3dm doesnt have all my attempts as it wouldnt upload as an attachment, but the large file with all my attempts can be found here:
