Fillet (soften edges) / by David Matthews

Do you need to soften the edges of object? Rhino can provide ​a fantastic array of tools to soften sharp edges. 

Fillet on Surfaces​ -- create two surfaces at 90deg angels with adjoining edges. 

  • ​Open the surface tools and select "Fillet Surface" 
  • Select and use the "​Chamfer Surface" tool
  • ​Select the "Variable Radius Fillet Surface" -- use the trim tool to complete the operation.

Create an object with a notch, curve, and nob. ​

  • ​Use the Fillet Surface tool to join the nob to the top of the shape. (Type fillet in the command line and you will see all of the fillet commands.)
  • Use the Fillet Edge too to round inside and outside edges. ​
