Unable to fillet edge

I'm attempting to fillet the edge of a triangular-shaped extrusion, and the fillets aren't generating. I used the same approach in a previous version that worked correctly, so I'm not sure what I'm doing differently this time.

Here is a link to the document, and below is a photo of the edge I'm trying to fillet along with a photo of the previous version.

    If you are trying to use the fillet feature I couldn't get it to work either but if you modify your sketch 3 with the fillet included you will get the results you want.

    @dylan_staley,

    Could you report this issue with the "Feedback" option under the "?" menu in the top right corner of your Part Studio? Looks like a bug (especially if it used to work correctly); we would like to investigate.

    I have just been playing with this and there seems to be an intermittent problem. about every 3rd to 5th attempt produces a fillet otherwise the fillet doesn't appear but there is no indication in the feature list that the fillet has failed.

    Further experimentation this morning shows a work around to make these fillets work. The problem isn't as random as I first thought but seems to be about the entities you are filleting. The first attempt to put a fillet on these sharp edges produces a fillet in the features list but it doesn't render as expected. Note the entity to fillet is "Edge of Extrude 2".




    Clicking again on the same line and attempting to produce a fillet has this result...



    That seems to look like the correct result but the entity to fillet is now "Edge of Fillet 1" and  a new fillet, "Fillet 2" has joined the features list.

    @brian_jordan I had that happen once but was unable to recreate it. I'm glad you figured it out I thought I was seeing things when it happened to me.
