Click Create > Fillet to create an arc tangent to two elements, with the option to trim the elements. The following menu appears.
Change Radius
Change the fillet radius. This dialog also lets you choose the Spline option to create a special spline fillet between two splines. See Fillet dialog box.
Trim
Click this button again to switch between Trim 0, Trim 1, and Trim 2.
Trim 0
Trim 0 does not trim any elements.
Trim 1
Trim 1 trims only the element selected first.
Trim 2
Trim 2 trims both selected elements.
Sweep
Click Sweep again to switch between Sweep<180 and Sweep>180. Sweep<180 creates the fillet arc less than 180°. Sweep>180, creates the fillet arc greater than 180°, the compliment of the other possible fillet.
Location
Use Location to select a point at which to attach the fillet. SURFCAM displays the Select Point menu.
Flip Arc
Click Flip Arc to flip an existing arc fillet from less than 180º to greater than 180º, or vice versa. (This operation cannot be used on fillets that are splines.) You will be prompted to select an arc to complement or a vector to flip direction.
Chain
Use Chain to create many fillets at one time along a chain of elements. The Select Chain menu appears.
After you click the Done button, a fillet is created between each pair of elements along the contour that was chained. Each element is trimmed. The Trim 0 and Trim 1 buttons have no control over the trim. If Create Element(s) on the Fillet dialog box is set to Both, the fillets are arcs.
The Fillet Chaining method supports the creation of fillet arcs and fillet splines, but not both.
The following commands appear after the first fillet possibility appears.
Other
Click Other to display the other tangent possibilities for the fillet. The number of the current possibility is also listed on the button.
Reverse
Reverse appears only if Trim was set to Trim 1 or Trim 2. Reverse is intended for use on arcs trimmed by the fillet. Click Reverse, then click an element trimmed by the fillet. The complement of the trimmed element appears. If you click the fillet, you reverse both the fillet and the trimmed elements.
