Use it!

Used to construct a circular fillet (arc) between two elements (lines, line strings, circular arcs, circles, or shapes), two segments of a line string, or two sides of a shape.

Tool SettingEffect
Radius

Sets the fillet's radius.

Truncate

Sets which side(s) are truncated.

  • None
    • — Neither element or segment is truncated.
  • Both
    • — Both elements or segments are truncated at their point of tangency with the fillet.
    see footnote 39
  • First
    • — The first element or segment identified (step 2) is truncated at its point of tangency with the fillet.
To construct a circular fillet
  1. Select the Construct Circular Fillet tool.

  2. Identify the first element or segment.
    If Truncate is set to First, this element or segment is truncated.

  3. Identify the second element or segment.

  4. Accept the fillet and truncation(s), if any.

In 3D, both elements must be on the same plane to be filleted.

To construct a 3D fillet between two surfaces, use the Blend Surface Between Rail Curves tool in the Fillet Surfaces tool box.

To construct a 3D fillet along an edge of a solid, use the Fillet Edges tool in the 3D Modify tool box.
