Fillet between faces
See also: Constant fillet, Variable fillet, 3 faces fillet
Menu access: Shape | Fillet
Description:
Allows you to create a constants and variable fillets between faces of the same shape. (surface or solid).
General philosophy:
Select on the FILLET BETWEEN FACES button.
Select one face of the first set of faces and choose the direction to create the fillet (pointing the centre of the radius).
Select the other faces from the first set and confirm.
Select one face of the second set of faces and choose the direction to create the fillet.
Select the other faces from the second set and confirm with OK .
The dialog box that appeared allows you to set the parameters for the fillet.
Available option(s):
You can select again an already selected
face to remove it from the selection list.
You can choose the blend type for
the fillet (ball
or disk).
For the ball type fillet,
you can define constraint edges.
You can choose the blend shape for
the fillet (constant radius,
variable radius,
elliptical, parabolical and hyperbolical).
If you choose a conical radius, the
r11, r12, r21 and r22 radius values will be applied as follow :
The option "Propagate
past sharp edges" allows to create the fillet on edgers that
are not continuous. An angular tolerance must be given.
The option "Repair
self-intersections" allows to ask that TopSolid attempts to
repair any self-intersecting areas in blend surfaces. When switched on,
TopSolid creates suitable faces to patch self-intersecting regions in
any constant-size rolling-ball blends.

Specific point(s):
You can make a fillet between two
non adjacent faces.
Limitation(s):
It is impossible to create a
fillet on an edge between two tangent faces.
It is impossible to create a
fillet on an edge arriving on a singular point.
The fillet radius must not be
too large relatively to the side faces. If it's the case they will "overlap".
However, it can be done
if the overlapping is done on a tangent edge.
Available modification(s):
By using the "modify" function,
you can access to the creation dialog box.
