Here's another area, I extracted this from another part of the model, and these edges refuse to fillet.

Hi MrChristopher3D.

All fillets are made 0.06 units. And this is the maximum to succeed on the first attempt, for the upper parts of this model.

Hi MrChristopher3D, this will fillet if you select the entire object to fillet instead of only some edges:



It's more difficult to fillet only some edges coming off of a juncture point and not all edges. When you fillet all edges it will be able to construct a corner juncture patch in between them instead of needing to extend and intersect the fillets against each other directly which is more difficult.

If you frequently need to fillet only some edges coming off of a common point and not all you should probably plan to export out to another CAD program with a more developed fillet engine in it (for example OnShape, Fusion 360) to do some of those that MoI can't handle.

Another thing that makes this one more difficult to fillet is that the top surfaces are from a previous small radius fillet. It's generally best to put on all fillets going through the same area at the same time instead of in separate passes, so that corner juncture patches can be made.
