fillet

Blend a transitional edge along a tagged path, smoothing the sharp edge.

Fillet is similar in function and use to a chamfer, except a chamfer will cut a sharp transition along an edge while fillet will smoothly blend the transition.

fillet(
  solid: Solid,
  radius: number,
  tags: [EdgeReference],
  tolerance?: number,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Solid

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`solid`	`Solid`	The solid whose edges should be filletted	Yes
`radius`	`number`	The radius of the fillet	Yes
`tags`	`[EdgeReference]`	The paths you want to fillet	Yes
`tolerance`	`number`	The tolerance for this fillet	No
`tag`	`TagDeclarator`	Create a new tag which refers to this fillet	No

Returns

Solid

Examples

width = 20
length = 10
thickness = 1
filletRadius = 2

mountingPlateSketch = startSketchOn(XY)
  |> startProfileAt([-width / 2, -length / 2], %)
  |> line(endAbsolute = [width / 2, -length / 2], tag = $edge1)
  |> line(endAbsolute = [width / 2, length / 2], tag = $edge2)
  |> line(endAbsolute = [-width / 2, length / 2], tag = $edge3)
  |> close(tag = $edge4)

mountingPlate = extrude(mountingPlateSketch, length = thickness)
  |> fillet(
       radius = filletRadius,
       tags = [
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge1),

         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge3),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge4)
