Radius Interpolation group
This g roup box controls the radius of the fillet.

have curvature to them.
Linear—When chosen (the default), the radius is
linear.
Cu bic—When chosen, the radius is treated as a
cubic function, allowing it to change based on the
parent surface’s geometr y.
Seeds group
These spinners adjust the seed va lues for the fillet
surface. If there is more than one way to construct
the fillet, the software uses the seed values to
choose the nearest edge for that surface.

Trim First Surface and Trim Second Surface
groups
For e ach of the parent surfaces, these controls
affect trimming.
Trim Surfa ce—Trims the parent surface at the edge
of the fillet.
Flip Trim—Reverses the direction of the trim.
Flip Normals—Turn on to reverse the direction of
the fi l let surface’s normals.
