Hi Tudor, can you please post the .3dm model file with that geometry in it?

orange/greeen - for blend
orange/blue for fillet

Hi Tudor, thanks for posting the file. I was hoping that would help me understand what you are asking about but I'm afraid that I still don't understand.

Are you trying to fillet curves instead of edges?

> orange/greeen - for blend
> orange/blue for fillet

Not understanding this either, do you mean you've already done a blend between orange and green and a fillet between orange and blue?

Sorry I'm not getting it, - Michael

so fillet i consider ~ a corner turn to rounded curvature with a radius
same principle want to be from blue to orange (file I've posted I've cut a part from curve (orange green) for a blend) that i'd consider as a fillet
moi doesn't have any implementation for corner blend radius -> aka fillet

Hi Tudor, for curve filleting the curve segments to be filleted need to be coplanar.

That's both a limit in the geometry library and also just in general on non-coplanar setups there often won't be a spot where an arc of the given radius exists that is tangent to both curves.

either in fillet tab (extra option for non-coplanar) or in blend tab with a corner selected (will act like fillet - thats why i'm more towards option in fillet tab) , both doing same thing, cut a distance and make blend together
the way i'm imagining cutting is a sphere growing radius from corner introduced by user, where sphere intersects with lines - make a cut & blend after, if growing sphere(radius) meets 3'd intersection point, algorithm fails
ofc if wont be fillet radius, but calculated radius (technically not part of fillet)

Hi Tudor, yes the problem is that if you cut something by intersection with a sphere then if you try to put in a circular arc segment between the cut pieces the arc will not be tangent to both cut ends.
