What units Moi3D operates in? (mm, in, etc.)

In general unity :)

> What units Moi3D operates in? (mm, in, etc.)

It currently isn't fixed to any particular unit system, it's just a generic "unit". It can be whatever you decide it is as long as you treat it in a consistent manner.

I know that this can be confusing, I expect to add a proper unit setting pretty soon.

Can you please post the .3dm model file with your shape? That would help to figure out what is going on. In general you should be able to do a fillet using the steps that you describe.

From your description I can't figure out what might be going wrong in your particular case, I'll need to see the model file.

Well, unfortunately the fillet probably won't make huge leaps and bounds in improvement by the V1 release. There will probably be some progress from fixes made by the guys who provide my geometry library, but it will be something that will likely be incrementally improving over a pretty long period of time.

It is a very difficult area to nail down really well, especially in places where a bunch of things are coming together.

MoI should handle relatively simple cases well, but if you really need to do a lot of more complex filleting where MoI isn't handling it for you, you'll probably need to look into one of the more traditional solid modeler tools like SolidWorks, Alibre, Inventor, ProE, SolidEdge, etc...

Thanks guys for responses. I followed what Wibble said (small radius of fillet) and I got it :)
