Fillet Generation

The Fillet Generation dialog box allows you to customize fillet representation mode. To access this dialog box, click the View tab, under Generate fillet check box, click Configure.

Why are fillets not represented using Symbolic, Approximated, Original Edges or Project Original Edges representation types in views obtained by copying-pasting As Result the CATIA V4 solid?

Configure fillet generation

The Configure fillet generation contains the following options:

Boundaries
Thin lines, representing the mathematical limits of the fillets.
Important: Boundaries are not projected if they correspond to two faces that are continuous in curvature. They are projected only if they correspond to a smooth edge that is situated between two faces whose curvature radii vary. This mode is used automatically to represent a connection between two faces that are not joined by a fillet, no matter what option you select.
Symbolic
Original edges, projected in a direction that is normal to each corresponding surface.
Approximated original edges
Original edges, at the intersection of the two surfaces joined by the fillet.
Projected original edges
Original edges, projected on fillet surfaces in the direction of the view projection.
Note: This projection mode is equivalent to the CATIA V4 fillet projection mode.

By default, the Boundaries is selected.

Important: The following information applies to Symbolic, Approximated Original Edges and Projected Original Edges:
  • Only those fillets for which fillet faces exist in the corresponding 3D is shown.
  • Dimensions on such fillets are not associative.
  • Such fillets cannot inherit 3D colors. Likewise, when using generative view styles, such fillets cannot inherit the 3DInheritance view dress-up parameters (defined in Me > Preferences > Standards > generativeparameters > *.XML file, Drafting > ViewDressup > 3DInheritance).
  • These fillets representations are only a symbolical preview of the 3D.
