Customize corner rounding

Use a flow to make different corners rounded different amounts

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

This is super useful for things like lot corners, turning radii, or softening building footprints.

Here’s what’s happening in each node:

  1. Read Feature
    • Brings in a polygon or polyline (your lot, building footprint, etc.).
    • This is the shape you want to soften.

  2. Input Parameter – Corner Radii
    • A list of numbers you can change.
    • Each number = the radius of a rounded corner.

  3. Fillet Corners node
    • Takes the shape and replaces sharp corners with curves.
    • The radius list is applied in order to each corner.
    • The text “fillet” means smooth rounded corners (not chamfer).

  4. Write Features
    • Outputs the new rounded shape.

Here’s a simple step‑by‑step.

  1. (New flows always start with the read features and write features nodes).

  2. Add the Fillet Corners node
    • Double‑click the canvas to open the node search.
    • Search for Fillet Corners and drag it onto the canvas.

  3. Connect the read feature
    • Drag a wire from Read Feature → F on the Fillet Corners node.

  4. Add the radius list
    • Add an Input Parameter.
    • Set:

    • Name: Corner Radii

    • Type: Number

    • Size: List

    • Click "Edit" to add defaults.

      Click the +, and then Input at least one number in the defaults.

    • Connect the input node to R[] on the Fillet Corners node.

  5. Set the corner type
    • Inside the Fillet Corners node, set the corner type to fillet.

  6. Output the result
    • Connect the R output from Fillet Corners → F[] on Write Features.

That’s it — you’ve built a corner‑rounding flow.

Edit the Settings

When you assign the flow to a geometry, the Corner Radii settings will show in the properties palette. Click Manage to change the corner radii, add more, or adjust the pattern.
