Hi Brian,

Those things are pretty cool!

But what does that have to do with the topic being discussed here: variable radius NURBS fillets?

Hi Michael, variable fillets would be cool but if it represents 80 weeks of work to implement, I can easily live without them!

In my case it is not as dire as that, because the geometry library that I have licensed does have support for it.

So I do expect to be able to have these once I get a chance to design a UI for it.

The many many years effort would be for someone trying to code them up completely from scratch instead of licensing a library to do it.

Ah, in that case, it's a definitely wish list item for a "not too distant update" :P

Good news :)
