Variable Radius Face Fillet?
Variable Radius Face Fillet?
(OP)
Does anyone know of a way to create a "Free Form" fillet to allow better control of a variable radius fillet? I have an edge where 2 curved surfaces meet and I am trying to define a fillet, similar to the one created by the face fillet, but with a variable radius (is there a "variable radius face fillet?) I am using SW 2009 SP 2.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

But you could do this the "manual" way with surfaces to get exactly what you need. This involves lots of surfacing features, such as Split Lines, Deleted Faces, and either Fills or Lofts (depending on what sorts of tangency controls you need). That's probably a bit too much for me to detail in a single post, but the tools are actually quite powerful once you get familiar with them.
