fillet	Blend a transitional edge along a tagged path, smoothing the sharp edge.	manual

Blend a transitional edge along a tagged path, smoothing the sharp edge.

Fillet is similar in function and use to a chamfer, except a chamfer will cut a sharp transition along an edge while fillet will smoothly blend the transition.

fillet(
  solid: Solid,
  radius: number,
  tags: [EdgeReference],
  tolerance?: number,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Solid

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
solid	Solid	The solid whose edges should be filletted	Yes
radius	number	The radius of the fillet	Yes
tags	[EdgeReference]	The paths you want to fillet	Yes
tolerance	number	The tolerance for this fillet	No
tag	TagDeclarator	Create a new tag which refers to this fillet	No

Returns

Solid
