Propagation Options
Two propagation modes are available for the Create fillets on full edges and Create fillets on relimited edges options:
- Minimal: Edges tangent to selected edges can be taken
into account to some extent. The app continues filleting
beyond the selected edge whenever it cannot do otherwise.
- Tangency: Tangents are taken into account to fillet the entire edge and
possible tangent edges.
Advanced Options
Selecting Advanced area consists of two additional options:
- Edge(s) to keep: When filleting an edge, depending on the
radius value you specified the fillet may affect other edges of the part that you do not
want to fillet. In case you can anticipate such a result, before confirming the Fillet
operation, specify the edges you want to exclude from the operation by selecting them in
the Edge(s) to keep box.
- Limiting element(s): Intersects the fillet with one or more
planes. You can right-click the Limiting element(s) box and
select the required command. You can select points as limiting elements. These points
must be located on the edge to be filleted and they must have been created using the
On curve option available in the Point
Definition dialog box.
Trim Ribbons
You can trim the fillets to be created by selecting the Trim
ribbons check box.
Conic Parameter
The Conic Parameter option varies the section of the fillet.
For a parameter comprised between or equal to:
- 0.5, the resulting curve is a parabola.
- 0 < parameter < 0.5, the resulting curve is an arc of an ellipse.
- 0.5 < parameter < 1, the resulting curve is a hyperbola.
