a very simple path, but I am not able to fillet this one (except by adding 2 points and deleting the corner point, but I don't get the accuracy I am after).
I want a fillet of 0.5 cm here, which is small enough to fit between the existing points.

any ideas?

tnx
wim

Hi:hope to understand correctly your question,if not please forgive me :)

draw a circle radius 0.5cm






trim the curve using the circle





do it again





delete trimmed part






select both and hit -BLEND-



on FRONT VIEW seems ok or maybe not.....just an idea :)

Thanks Mauro,

I know this technique, but I had other non planar curves in the design that I could simply fillet with the fillet tool, without problems, so I was wondering why this one did not work properly.

wim

apparently, if non planar straight lines are filleted, it works, but if there is a smooth curve involved, the fillet tool does not work. 2 straight lines in a crooked angle are still planar, I realize now, even if they are not parallel with x, y or z.

extrude -> fillet -> select edge -> copy -> paste

that's a nice one (and fast too!), Max! thanks.

Hi Wim, yes for curve filleting the curves need to be coplanar. And like you figured out, they can be on any oriented plane not just ones aligned to an XYZ axis.
