Quick Fillet (blender addon)
Added 2024-10-15 06:59:49 +0000 UTCQuick Fillet is a simple tool for making curved surface (quads) by using cross section edges.
It use edges from 3 orientations to calculate the rounded surface.
The requirements are :
- The number of edges has to be even (2, 4, 6, 8 ...).
- Select 3 set of edges. Although they can be any orientation (they can be flat.... the tool will not error ! ),
for the best result, they should be representing 3 directions. - The number of edges has to be the same for all edge set. So let say if it is 4 edges on one side, it should be 4 + 4 + 4.
- The tool will automatically determine the separation of edge sets, by using "sharp angle".
The sharpest angle locations will be used for edge sets seperation. - If separation is not correct, you can change it by using the offset index in menu (lower-bottom screen).
To completely create a "rounded head" for cylinder or any mesh, theoretically it need 4 fillets.
And theoretically you can use it to fill a flat triangle.....
