Different filleting radius - Polyloop

Butch · 10th March 2007, 01:28

Hello!
How can I asing different filleting radius when working in poly mode?
Eg. if I have a cube and i want to have diferent fileting radius on every edge or some edges, like one egde 5 cm other 2 cm, third 1 cm...

How would I do it?

Hello
Absolutely You can.
Click the 4th option and drag the green arrows separately.
(you may enable the cursor parameters, in the application pref.)

I thought something like this...

Piem · 10th March 2007, 13:09

you can do by the same way. just ask a level zero.

Butch · 10th March 2007, 13:51

Level zero?
Dont understand:-(

Piem · 10th March 2007, 14:06

Yes, I called Level the chamfer Range . I think we can ^^.
The chamfer settings on the left side down the screen
just hit the Tab key to access to the range (or level if you want) and set 0

Yes ok. Level zero = chamfer, I didnt had problem with this at all, but can you get with chamfering the shape I posted in the picture?
I think not.

In poly mode it seems this cannot be done in one step, since local radius only works on points. You could chamfer one edge, remove the DG and then do the other edges.

then you think incorrectly butch this is an easy operation in amapi

select the first edge apply a chamfer set the range to zero and use the plus / minus keys to set the width, hit enter to apply.
make sure the DG is collapsed then select the top edges and apply a chamfer set the range to zero and use the plus /minus keys to set the width then hit enter.

My previous boss had a nice saying about this: the pope and the countryman know more than the pope alone. Now I'll be the countryman. Wim

actually butch was partially correct in that you cant get his shape in one go for the reason you said Wim and if you leave the DG on you get a different profile however to do the chamfer in 2 hits only takes 20 seconds or less.
