Hello Michael.

I repeated the test and I've found maybe a strange behavior, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not.
It's something I can't figure out.

Please check this brief video : http://take.ms/nuPqd

This is a textual explanation, but it's better to check the video.

1) I created a box 50x50x50 with a circular fillet of 10
2) I tried to "offeset" one single surface (without separate from the body)
3) AS YOU CAN SEE THE FILLET DOESN'T WORK

4) This time I created the same box 50x50x50 but with a g2 fillet of 10
5) I tried to "offeset" one single surface (without separate from the body)
6) AS YOU CAN SEE IT WORKS!

I stay tuned. Thanks.

P.S. The same identical behavior happens if I use the "Inset" command.

On Circular fillet doesn't work



on G2 fillet it works.

Hi Marco, that's a bug in V3 that has already been fixed in V4. The bug had to do with the fillet corners for the circular case not creating an analytic sphere surface class. When you save and reload the file it does get a specialized analytic sphere surface type for the corners and that's what makes the different behavior in v3.

According to my notes it was reported by Pilou last year through e-mail and I fixed it on May 22, 2017 so all released versions of v4 should have the fix in it.

> P.S. The same identical behavior happens if I use the "Inset" command.

Same thing there as well - should be fixed in v4 already.

@You : "...Same thing there as well - should be fixed in v4 already..."

Perfect Michael!

Tested on V4 and it works!

I was not aware of this behavior.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Hello everyone!

My two cents for a little Voronoi trick to get all things with filleting in two shots.

Works very well on simple Voronoi.

About Voronoi :)
Just a boolean operation for inside any figure! :)

Thanks for the "select Edges > Merge > BlendCap" addition, Finema. Hadn't thought of that alternative yet.

As a form like this can't be SuDivided directly (Top face more than 5 edges)
All Plugins by Max Smirnov

Use SSPlit for trim
Use SBridge for "Blend Faces" only 2 by 2
Use _SUbD for SubDivide




Copy / Move faces
Bridge them



Extrude to Point or Nsided (Kill the caps before) can be used for simple form :)

Hello!

SubD trials in Pilou's instructions. Tried to draw upholstery parts of a chair with SubD. It is necessary to rethink something, because the result is not yet visible when the initial form is created.
I created this one from a cuboid and used "bridge" for the "nose" in front of the seat. Then I noticed that once you split the surfaces with Split or Iso, you get points in the body that can be moved. In this way, it is possible to get closer to the desired shape and achieve the desired "upholstery effect".
Thanks for the help, you can see, it'll be all right.....

With the new _Voronoi by Max Smirnov:)

Take 2 sets and use the ISect Boolean Function! ( whith Union Sets disabled )
then ExplodeMove hidden function
Have fun!
Here twice the same but you can take any things! :)

That's quite a cool technique, Pilou, thanks for sharing!

Hi Pilou,

have you seen this at ZBCentral? :-)

Pilou and I are trying to get Boozy to hop on board over here. He's a really sympathetic chap.
