Variable Radius

Check this box only if you have previously created the required reference curve between the two surfaces.

A variable radius fillet surface has different radius values at different locations along its length.

To create a variable radius fillet, first create a reference curve that passes along the area to be filleted. Arcs with user defined radii will be located along the reference curve at user defined locations. These arcs are used to create the fillet. The reference curve should be created as a cutter intersect spline between the two surfaces. To create the reference curve, see Cutter Intersect on the Create > Spline menu. The Tool total radius value on the Cutter Intersect Tool Information dialog box should be set equal to the largest radius used in creating the fillet.
