Amazing. I've had thoughts of such a feature many a time, but never even gotten started.

In theory a Face Blend with width control should make this feature unnecessary, but it seems to fail if the dihedral goes to zero. In your test cases, Face blend could only handle test case 4, everything else would take multiple extra features.

Any chance that you can/will make the bridging curves G2 or G3?

Thanks for checking it out!

I figured this feature is a pretty niche, but I find myself going through the workflow way too often. Some of the test cases are covered by the vanilla Fillet, but I needed some quick geometry to test trimming away end caps and filling gaps.

I can add implementation for G2/G3. It's a pretty simple change in the code. I wanted the feature to be up and running before introducing more complexity to it as I'm still really new to FeatureScript and haven't dealt too deep into programming, really.

Because of @EvanReese's series on equations, variables, etc. in Onshape, I ended up getting sucked into the FeatureScript rabbit hole. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm not a real programmer, but I'm still pretty happy with coming up with something that'll automate a pain point in my CAD workflows. Plus, then I get to share this with the rest of my team.

Link to FeatureScript: Loft Fillet

I created a feature to help avoid the very common (but also very niche) occurrence when that arise from creating edges that terminate on smooth edges, tangent faces, you name it. They generally result in fillets that taper to a point or else just failing altogether. Usually, the workflow to get around this is to:

1. Sweep a circle
2. Extend sweep faces
3. Trim away main body faces
4. Create bridging curves
5. Loft between the open edges
6. Remaining cleanup with booleans, fills, and additional splits

Needless to say, it's a very involved process that requires a few steps and a ton of clicking. Loft Fillet does all of that in one feature. This feature was inspired by @MichaelPascoe's Analyze Fillet. I saw he had a Split Sweep feature, but I couldn't quite get it to work as I intended. I tried to handle as many use cases as I could think of, but obviously, I can't think of everything. Appreciate any feedback that you guys might have. If anything, feel free to peak under the hood to see if there are any optimizations I could implement.

@Konst_Sh that's the nature of any skilled discipline I think. People use my dumb lazy scripts like Keep Part and Lefty Flip far more than ones I put real effort into like Better Than Boolean.

The feeling when you made multiparametric solver feature, but people remember you because of the circle sweep 🧐

I modified Konstantin S's circle sweep document for my own personal use because I needed a square version for some of my builds and I couldn't find a feature script that did that; I'm posting it here just so anyone else can also benefit from this. I'm currently in highschool and am fairly new to feature script so please let me know if something I'm doing is wrong and I should give credits somehow or take it down. If this featurescript script helped you please like the document.
