Fillet Surfaces

(3D only) Used to create a 3D fillet between two surfaces (shapes, cones, extruded surfaces, surfaces of revolution, or B-spline surfaces) by sweeping an arc of constant radius along the common intersection curve — commonly referred to as a constant radius rolling ball fillet. The fillet is created on the side to which the arrow handles point.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Modeling > Surfaces > Modify Surfaces > Fillet > Surfaces
  • Toolbox: Modify Surfaces


SettingDescription
Radius Sets the fillet's radius.
Truncate Defines which surface(s) are to be truncated:
  • Both — Both surfaces are trimmed.
  • First — The first surface selected is trimmed.
  • None — Neither surface is trimmed.
Face only Allows the selection of one face at a time if multiple faces are present in either surface.

For example, if a fillet is created between a slab and a surface and this check box is selected, the faces of the slab could be selected.

This check box is available only if Truncate is set to None.
