SW Fillets - Can they be patterned?
SW Fillets - Can they be patterned?
(OP)
Hi Folks,
I have done some digging around on the topic of patterning fillets and am interested in learning more about other peoples' experiences.
Going back in the forums' archives I found one comment from Scott Baugh (which I tend to agree with):
"Fillets never have patterned or mirror correctly. What I do is, I just make one side, mirror all the features except the fillets, then add the fillets manually to boths sides."
Has anyone had any different experience with this? I am interested in comments from either side of the issue. As I mentioned, personally I have found that one should add fillets to their models at the bottom of the Feature Manager.
Thanks,

Reason trumps all. And awe trumps reason.

The geometry is essentially a fan blade intersecting a hub. It looks like the only way to make this happen is by adding all the fillets at once.
