A fillet radius is the size of the rounded curve that replaces a sharp corner, measured as the distance from the curve to where the sharp corner would have been.

string

item

The type of fillet (fillet, chamfer)

How to

  1. Input a feature from another node into the Feature connector

  2. You can user Read Feature, or any node that outputs a single feature

  3. Input the radius into the Radius connector

    1. Type a single number into the box, or input a number from another node

    2. You can also feed in a list or radii. The radii will be applied in order (by index) to each corner/control point on the feature.

  4. Input the corner type as a string

    1. Options are fillet or chamfer

The Round Corners node and Fillet Corners node are very similar. You would use the Fillet Corners node if you want each corner to have a different fillet radius, which can only be accomplished with this node due to the Radius field accepting lists.

Examples

A simple, single radius option.

A fillet creates a smooth, rounded curve at a corner (like a quarter-circle), while a chamfer cuts the corner off at an angle to create a flat edge.

Multiple Radii

When you want each corner of a geometry to have different radii, input a list into the Radius field:
