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(data: FilletData, solid: Solid, tag?: TagDeclarator) -> Solid

Arguments

NameTypeDescriptionRequired
dataFilletDataData for fillets.Yes
solidSolidAn solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.Yes
tagTagDeclaratorNo

Returns

Solid - An solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.

Examples

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

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

mountingPlate = extrude(thickness, mountingPlateSketch)
  |> fillet({
       radius = filletRadius,
       tags = [
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge1),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge2),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge3),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge4)
       ]
