Hi Michael
While I've become pretty good and taking apart solids to repair holes, I ran into a situation where I had a fillet on a part along an edge that would not work in the application. Luckily I had a version prior to fillet but are there some tricks to remove a fillet a long an edge short of grafting on a piece which would be bad technique as I'm learning.

Hi Scott, there isn't any really easy way to remove a fillet, but it can be possible to remove it without grafting on an extra piece by breaking the surrounding surfaces into individual surfaces by selecting them and running Edit > Separate on them, then doing an "untrim" to remove the trimming boundaries and recover the original full underlying surface, then retrim those against each other.

It can be a fairly involved process. The basics of it are covered in this object repair tutorial:

and there is information about how to do an "untrim" here:
