How do you fillet part of an edge without doing the whole edge?
How do you fillet part of an edge without doing the whole edge?
(OP)
I have an edge which I want half filleted, and the other half left square. I inserted a split line so that I could select only the portion of the edge I want to have a fillet, but the fillet still continues throughout the entire edge? Is there any way to do this with the fillet tool instead of a swept cut?

That would be a good one to know, but I think a cut or split body is the only way. split face won't do it, because a fillet can't generate that additional surface.

I went ahead and did a swept cut; that way I was also able to accurately model how the entry point would actually look using a radius cutter, instead of having it stop dead.
