Hi Martin,

When this happens it means that the filleting engine got confused about how to fully process the entire fillet, especially with figuring out how to cut up the original object with the fillet edges. That can especially happen if one of the fillets did not quite fully extend far enough to form a totally closed boundary for cutting.

When there is some error like that in one of the latter stages of fillet calculation, it will try to return back the pieces that it was able to generate, in the hope that you might be able to use those pieces to complete the fillet by doing manual trimming.


The main thing that would probably make your construction for this case in MoI easier is an improved blend command that could use a longer chain of edges in one blend construction instead of only one pair at a time, that's something that's near the top of my list to work on for v3, it won't make it into this immiment beta but hopefully not long after.

You can also prepare things to be easier to use with MoI's current single-edge-to-single-edge blend by running the Rebuild command on your curves before constructing surfaces from them, so that you've got surfaces in larger pieces instead of split up into smaller faces. With them configured like that you'll then be able to do just one blend to connect them, see the attached example.

But it's definitely a goal to improve Blend to make your original structure work for blending more easily too.

Hey martin. Here's a quick look at what Michael means with using rebuild.



When he creates the "multi edge" blend, it will be very cool and give some better control.

Michael.
Thanks for the explanation, the file, and the great software!

BurrMan.
An excellent video, much appreciated.

Both of you have helped me tremendously - I can do this in next-to-no-time now and it'll surely help others as well.



Martin (2).
