How to Fillet Edges Tangent to the Edges to be Kept?You select one edge you want to fillet (the edge shown in red with a radius value), then two edges you do not want to fillet (in purple), keeping in mind that the selection of "keep edges" propagates the selection of the edge you want to fillet. The preview shows that the fillet operation will apply onto two additional edges that are shown in red dotted lines. For more information about the Keep Edge option, see Creating Edge Fillets in the Part Design User's Guide. Only the edge you explicitly selected is filleted. In this particular case, the edge to be filleted and the edge to keep become tangent: the fillet does not cross the edge to keep and stops. WorkaroundCreate two different fillet features: How to Create a Fillet Overlapping Another Fillet With the Same Radius Value?
WorkaroundThere are three possible workarounds to obtain a satisfactory result. Workaround 1Create the green fillet first, then the blue one. Workaround 2Or create first the blue fillets then the green one. Workaround 3Use Variable Radius Fillet to create the three fillets in one single feature. |
