Full round fillets - and "half round"?

Been wondering for a while whether there's any way to programmatically determine the MAX fillet that can be applied. Full Round seems to do that when you want a 180 degree fillet but what about a 90 degree angle? Whenever I change some dimensions, I often need to fix all my fillets - whereas I often want them to be maximized.
In the screenshot above, I had to manually dial in 16mm through trial-and-error to find the max fillet that would extend to the edge of the face. But If I edit the sketch and change the offset distance between the outer and inner edges, I'll have to recalculate that fillet again (or drive it with a variable - ugh). Am I missing something easy and obvious?
While on the topic of fillets, I'm having trouble applying Full Round to two opposite faces. In the screenshot I have no issues applying Full Round to one of the two faces. The moment I add the second face, it fails, though I don't see any good reason for it to do so.

I'd use the Measure Value custom feature by @konstantin_shiriazdanov to measure the size the fillet should be and create a variable for it. Here's an example document.

This sounds like a part of design intent. May be Fillet is a wrong tool for it and it is better to model it in sketch.1
