Fillet - Not working as it used to?

jonas_abrahamsenjonas_abrahamsen Member Posts: 4

Hello,

I am trying to make a dice, where I want to round (fillet) all the egdes. But I get this error:

There is a tutorial video, where the user just mark all the edges → fillet = it just works (https://youtu.be/cUe2O_85zIM?si=cDm09JQWSgZQ7HUJ&t=71)

It looks like, that is not a feature anymore. However, I can do multible Fillet commands and do one for each side. But it is nbot doing it correct. By clikcing one line pr. command, the top looks correct:

But the buttom is off:

Furthermore, it does not allow me to do the last line?

I am not a pro with Onshape. But I think there have been an update to this. I remebered, when it just could do all the egdes at once. Now I need to have many Fillet commands.

How can I solve this, and what am i doing wrong?

Thank you.

    Works fine for me.

    In your screenshot you have "Measurement" set to "Width", which can be very useful, but in this situation that's why it's failing. You need it set to "Radius".

    @S1mon - I was totally unaware of that 'Width' option. Went to the help files where there was zero explanation. Tried 'playing around' with it to figure it out . . nope. When/where is it ever used?

    The top fillet in this part is set to Width and 5mm. The width is the chordal distance and drives the size. The radius value is a resultant.

    @S1mon - Thanks for that. In the meantime I also discovered this official 'Tech Tip' page - https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/how-and-when-to-use-fillets-in-onshape - scroll down for a video which gives a good explanation.

    . . . by a @Jenny_Johnson ? She seems to know exactly how it all works, maybe she can organize the editing of the help files.
