Construct Circular Fillet

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.

When you construct a circular fillet between two segments of a line string, the line string is broken into two independent line strings and arc. When you construct a circular fillet between two sides of a shape, the shape is broken into a line string and an arc.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Home > Modify > Fillets split button
  • Ribbon: Modeling > Home > Modify > 2D Modify Tools
  • Toolbox: Fillets


SettingDescription
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. If a fillet is constructed between two closed elements or an open and a closed element, the closed element(s) are not modified.
  • First — The first element or segment selected (step 2) is truncated at its point of tangency with the fillet.
Note: In 3D, for two both elements to be filleted, they must be on the same plane.

To construct a 3D fillet between two surfaces, use the Fillet Surface along Curves tool.

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