How do I create a quarter-round edge cutout (cove), rather than a quarter-round edge (fillet)?
The fillet tool creates a quarter-circle rounded edge, but is there a CAD tool that will show the removal of a quarter-circle of material along the edge of a part? (If I was using a router to create this edge, I would use a "cove" bit rather than a "round over" bit.)

Sketch the quarter-circle to remove and Sweep (remove) it along a path of edges

Thanks, Greg. It worked like a charm. That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Same technique for something like an ogee bit or a raised panel bit. The “round over” bit is the only one usually built into a cad system.
