Hi Burr,

re:
> Do you plan on keeping the Solids++ or

I don't have any immediate plans for removing the option to use the old fillets with those options.


> can ACIS produce these options in the future?

It's highly unlikely. But there are a couple of other fillet mechanisms in ACIS though like some face/face operations that I could try out in future versions.

Aha! Appears the equivalent of current “blend” where it can fill non connected. And also “hold lines” for continuity control….

The future is bright. Thanks for your time.

Something more speedy and more easy for select only fillets for erase them in some cases!
Like on pyramid first post : https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11803.1

- Select the Object
- Up Right Menu Details / Faces /Plan = n Faces --> Click "Faces"
- x Planar --> Click "Planar"
- Invert Selection

or even more speedy ! ;) You must have your object alone on the screen! So Select it Invert Selection / Hide)
- Browser "Types"
- Faces / Planar!!! (Right Click on "Planar" for select them )
- Invert Selection

then
Remove Fillets by
Shift + Del key
or Right Click + Shift
or Right Click on Del Button (red "x" Left bottom Bar)
Et voilà! :)

Does it possible to have a script for that ? For ultra speedy users that i am not... due bad memory ! :)

---

Else for partial fillets remove ! ;)

---

Hi Pilou, for fewer steps you could do -

"Details..." button, then on the object properties dialog, click "Faces", then Ctrl+click on "Planar" to deselect those.

Or on Scene Browser, Types section, click on the selection dot area for "Faces", then click on selection dot on Faces > Planar to deselect planar faces.

Frenchy.
If you delete just the rounded apex faces you get 'straight corners' on the fillets. ;-)

Ah excellent! Another hidden fonctions!

---

@blowlamp
Yep but you don't obtain the same result!
All depend of what do you want! ;)



But maybe Apex is another thing... ? What is exactly ?
And what is your selection ?

---

Frenchy.
You're showing what I meant in your GIF.
The fact that it's now possible to have straight corners and rounded corners in any combination is a plus as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
The same trick also works with Chamfer. ;-)

I've been waiting for this since v3!

Thank you!

great improvements, have been asked for a long time !

Not a question about the Sep-!7-2025 beta in particular.

I know it's possible to enter fractions such as 17/64" without having to convert to decimal, but is there a formatting rule where I can enter a measurement of something like 4 9/16" directly?

I occasionally get these dimensions in drawings I receive and don't enjoy converting them. ;-)

On my mobile phone calculator, entering 4+9/16 seems to give the right answer.

Hi Martin,

Yes, you need to have a unit system set other than "No unit system", and you need a foot (') or inches(") mark in your input.

Then you can use either a space or a hyphen to separate whole inches from the fractional part, like:

4 9/16"
or
4-9/16"

Just saw this. Currently installing as I speak, and I am super excited to try this out.

---

Thank you Michael.
It's now working for me if I use a hyphen, but not with a space and of course I was previously using a space.
My unit system is set to millimetres.

Martin.

Amazing and everyday useful ACIS funkcionality, excellent job, Michael!

Thank you.

Which edit field are you typing in ?

- Michael

---

Michael.

I click to start the line and immediately begin typing on the numeric keypad and the numbers are displayed in the X,Y,Z box without me clicking on it.

If I click to start the line and then type: 4-7/8" the line is correct.
If I click to start the line and then type: 4 7/8" the line terminates somewhere near the Origin, in fact all lines show similar behaviour whe using the 'space' character.

In that particular field it's also looking for x y values and it's deciding that 4 7/8" is a 2D point location with
x = 4
y = 7/8 inches = 22.225mm.

But I can probably tune that if you have the inches mark (") on just one piece then treat the whole thing it as one feet & inches value instead.

Hi Michael.
That would be good if you're happy to do it.

Just to let you know that the new features are an absolute boon when it comes to editing a model. Just being able to delete features to allow further editing is fantastic!

Thanks.
Martin.
