Viz Help – Fillet Edges

Example: Smoothing the edges with Fillet

In this example, we use the Fillet operation to smooth all edges of a geometry imported from the modeler.

1. Use a BRep Source to import the geometry from the modeler (make sure the imported geometry is a group, so that it is considered as one piece):
2. Use the BRep Components node to extract the edges we want to fillet, making sure to set the T attribute to Edge:
3. Feed the edges and the BRep to the Fillet node (double-click on the BRep Source‘s Pr attribute to turn off the preview):
4. Add a Slider node to control the fillet radius (double-click on the Slider‘s title bar to edit the slider parameters)
5. Use a Shell Sink node to output the filleted geometry back to the modeler (you can move it in the modeler so it doesn’t overlap with the input geometry):

Now, if you update the input geometry in the modeler, the filleted geometry is automatically updated on the fly.
