When you create variable radius edge fillets and rounds, you choose between
a smooth blend from one radius to another and a straight blend between radii.
The method you choose depends on your part design and the way adjacent
part features blend into the edge.
You can also specify points between the start and endpoints of a selected edge,
and then define their relative distances from the start point and their radii.
This technique provides flexibility when creating variable radius edge fillets
and rounds.
This illustration shows smooth and straight transitions on variable-radius
rounds.
You can model special fillet applications where more than three edges
converge. Choose a different radius for each converging edge, if needed.
To find the radius of an existing fillet, right-click the feature in the browser,
and then choose Show Dimensions. The fillet radius is displayed on your part.
For information on face fillets and full round fillets, refer to fillet features
in the Help index.
