Fillet : Types of Fillet

Fillet Type : Constant Radius Constant radius . Creates fillets that have a constant radius for the entire length of the fillet. set the PropertyManager options to create these fillet types: Multiple radius fillets        Round corner fillets. Setback fillets

Multiple Radius Fillets Creates fillets that have different radius values

Round Corner Fillet Creates a smooth transition where fillet edges meet

Setback Fillets Defines a setback distance from a vertex at which the fillets start to blend

Fillet Type : Variable Radius Creates a fillet with variable radii values

Fillet Type : Variable Radius Control Points You can manipulate and assign radius values to the control points between the vertices of a variable radius fillet

Fillet Type : Face Fillet Blends non-adjacent, non-continuous faces

Face Fillet Hold Lines An edge on the part or a projected split line on a face as a boundary that determines the face fillet shape

Face Fillet with Constant Width Creates a fillet with a constant width

Fillet Type : Full Round Fillet Creates fillets that are tangent to three adjacent faces sets (with one or more faces tangent )

Fillet Property Manager : Tangent Propagation Extends the fillet to all faces that are tangent to the selected face

fillet Overflow Type Default. The system chooses one of the following options, depending on the geometry conditions (convexity of edges being filleted and the adjacent edges, and so on). Keep edge. Maintains the integrity of adjacent linear edges. However, the fillet surface is broken into separate surfaces, and in many cases the top edge of the fillet may have a dip in it. Keep surface. Uses the adjacent surface to trim the fillet. As a result, the fillet edge is continuous and smooth, but the adjacent edge is disturbed.

fillet Select Loop To select a loop: 1- On a part, right-click an edge and choose Select Loop. A loop is selected on one face. A handle displays the direction of the loop. 2- To change the loop selection to the edges of the other connecting face, click the handle. 3- To select a loop on a face: Select a face. Hold Ctrl and select an edge of a loop. The complete loop is selected.
