  1. From the Refine section of the action bar, click Edge Fillet . Fillet the multiple edges as shown in the example.
    Important: When you select edges, the order of selection affects the final shape of the fillet. This explains why you may sometimes encounter error messages when filleting.
    To obtain the shape we need for our scenario, select the edges counterclockwise.

  2. The shape style of the resulting corner is not satisfactory.


  3. Right-click the Blend corners box and select Create by Edges or Vertex.
    In this example, only one corner is detected. The app shows it in the 3D.



  4. The setback distance determines for each edge a free area measured from the vertex along the edge. In this area, the system adds material so as to improve the corner shape.


    Tip: The Blend Corner option is available with variable radius too. You can vary the radius of a fillet using the Variation section of the EdgeFillet.x dialog box.
  5. Enter required value in the setback distance box.
  6. Click Preview. To edit the distance for a single edge, click the corresponding value and enter new value in the Setback distance box.
    The setback distance for a single edge is changed.
  7. Repeat the operation for other edges also, if needed.
    The corner is reshaped and now looks aesthetically satisfactory.
