Hello

(Sorry, one more question!)

How can I cut a fillet (or fillets) for a limited distance down an edge?

Thanks

J

    Not possible directly. Easiest way would be to split the part first, then fillet one side of the split, then boolean back together.

    You can also add a protrusion to act as a block, and then delete face/heal to get the desired result. Neil's method makes more sense in many cases, but the blocker method can be helpful. (It's something I learned to do with Solidworks from tutorials like this: https://dimontegroup.com/filleting-master-class/)
