How do you radii in a combination of lines?

[Bogdan1985]

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

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

Review the attached video to see the workflow that I described in my first post.

Thanks John, can you please save this video under a different format? Even Mediacenter wrote, there is a mistake in this video and cannot be played. Thanks

OK, here's an MPEG version of the same video.
