  10. Select the first split surface as the first support element (Split.3).

  11. Select the multi-sections surface you just created as the second support element (Multi-sections Surface.2).

  12. Enter a fillet radius of 3mm.

    The orientations of the surfaces are shown by means of arrows.
  13. Make sure that the surface orientations are correct (arrows pointing down) then click OK to create the first fillet surface.

  14. Repeat the filleting operation, clicking the icon, then selecting the second split surface as the first support element.

  15. Select the previously created filleted surface as the second support element.
