Hi Keith,

If you would, please post the model. I have been creating models the best I can from the view you post and dont see a problem. It may be just the view and I am not building the same, or it may be an error in your model, but it is hard to say.

In the UK, I am in Lancashire.

Hi Manz and Micheal

Here is the model. After some fiddling I did manage to fillet the bit I posted about but I still can't fillet the portion behind where the cylinder head is to be fitted (top middle).

I'm not quite sure of the area you're referring to, is it this one here:




That's certainly going to be difficult to fillet - not only is there not much space in the flat part, but since the rounded part on top is flush with the side wall below it, it causes a kind of "vanishing fillet" type situation where the fillet would kind of narrow down to a single point, those are not handled very well by the filleter right now.

It will probably require some pretty low-level and pretty involved individual surface manipulation to finish up that part, the more "automatic" edge filleter is not able to handle that area. I can try to help you with that some more tomorrow if you want, but I want to make sure of the area you want to have filleted first.
