>>The control point structure look similar for both fillet and blend in MoI; but if you would copy the curves to Rhino and turn control points on, you could see the difference.
Are you not looking at a default fillet from MoI (Circular) compared to a default blend(G1).
Fillets in MoI can also be made to G1/G2/G3 so a need to compare similar settings (with fillet/blend) on such a planer construction.
Hi Steve, I think the fillet with option G1/G2/G3 is not further fillet ;) From my point of view, it is just kind of smart blending for solid/polysurfaces. By the way, circular option also keeps a tangent (G1). -Petr
