Thank you for you replies and sorry for the images snafu.

I am not really looking to have the "maximum" radius automatically applied, but I'm looking for a a way to fillet these edges that is faster than Rhino, which is very time consuming for this task. I would need to prepare many of these each day, and I have to actually produce these afterwards so I don't have much time to deal with the fillet.
I wanted to know if MoI can do this faster and better than Rhino

I've uploaded the images this time:

1. This is the kind of shape I work with (letter combinations). I import it from Illustrator


2. From that I extrude a solid, but I want it to have round edges.


3. This image shows where the problem is. Even if I correct each radius in the preview the result is pretty bad.


4. This image shows another problem in Rhino

Hi seb, so it's just the outside border that you want rounded?

The things you are showing there will be difficult to do as an automated process in any CAD program I think...

Things like sharp small features such as this:



will definitely be problematic, and you'll run into the same kind of problems that you described about if the surface below pieces is too narrow.

Maybe you should try something more like a 1-rail mitered sweep around the outside boundary rather than doing filleting... But actually sweeping will also run into some similar problems from trying to fit a large sized round arc piece around a small tightly bent hook shape.

I don't really see how that's going to get automated very easily, it's difficult for an automatic process to handle all the kind of "running out of room" problems that occur with something like that.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I was asking just in case, but I guess MoI and Rhino handle filetting pretty much in the same way.

I'm trying to see if I could have a Rhino developer make a script for this, but don't have high hopes...

Thanks anyway
