From what I could tell it does not seem like this model would have tons of different radius zones like that or need to use variable radius filleting at all.

Of course yes...it was for the concept! :)

See the video above...

else does it normal that a volume "subdivided" even with a low subdivision can't be filleted ?

Hi Pilou,

re:

Ok, but this discussion thread is about this specific model.

It's normal that you can't place an edge fillet along an edge that is already smooth between the 2 surfaces that it belongs to.

That control is not for controlling the amount of subdivision, it's for controlling a weighting effect. In a case like you show there with a value of 6 the surfaces are still smooth where they meet, their curvature is just more tightly bunched into a smaller area. If you zoom in closely on a corner or an edge you should see that it still has a rounded shape there (with a kind of bump and valley), just contained in a much smaller area.

You can only apply fillets to areas of a model that are sharp, not on edges that are already smooth.

Here's what you should see if you zoom in on your object:

Ok that is more clear!
