How do you radii in a combination of lines?

How do you radii in a combination of lines?

Hi,

I have a combination of connected lines, not on a plane, it's a 3d combination.

I know the order "combine" but how can I make "round corners"?

Attached is the model.

Thanks

RE: How do you radii in a combination of lines?

As I've done in the attached example, you simply add 'Fillet' curves using the...

Insert -> Curve -> Lines and Arcs -> Arc Tangent-Tangent-Radius...

...function and then when you create your 'Composite Curve', use the Selection Intent 'Curve Rule' of 'Tangent Curves' with the 'Follow Fillet' option toggled ON (second icon to the Right of the 'Curve Rule' widget) with both the 'Associative' and 'Hide Original' options togged ON.

Thanks JohnRBaker!

The way to make radii in corner works fine. But for "togget on" we have maybe different version of NX. Attached you can see my menu, looks maybe poor compare to your menu. I know there is a way to hide the original lines.

I have a student version of NX 8.0

For the Roles in the missing orders in the menus: Can you write me were the button/menu precise is, were you can order to place all orders to the menus? Thanks
