Apparently Inventor does just fillet, whether fix or variable offset. I have not seen the 3-direction rounding of corners. And the profile seems to be always an arc of circle.

only one small thing .. when making this fillet some holes becomes filled ..can this be fixed ?

What a nice surprise Once again, thank you fredo, your hard work is always appreciated.

Actually, it is Sketchup that automatically generate the faces. RoundCorner algorithm does not 'see' them.
I need to see if I can do something, but no guarantee!

[Pixero]

It would be great if the round corner could be turned off and just turn it on before render.

Fredo,

This gives more details on the fillet and chamfer options for Inventor

Dear Fredo,

I forgot to say that I think you are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for all your hard work in not only writing these scripts, but documenting them so well. You really are a very generous chap.

Kind regards,
Bob

Thanks. Interesting, but my first reaction would be that I understand why some of you prefer Sketchup, which is so much natural to use for this type of shapes (except maybe for the variable radius filleting).
Fredo

For the mechanically minded, RoundCorner is just perfect for all those radiussed and chamfered features. Setting the offset equal to the radius on the end of a pin will round the end of the pin beautifully.

Just loaded this plugin for the first time. I drew a circle and, using the default parameters, clicked to proceed and got this

Not sure what it is, but it sure neat Black hole generator maybe.

Now on to more serious testing.

[Jean-Franco]

you have to change the default parameter (1000mm) to a smaller value or draw a bigger circle.
