Fillet edge of a solid

Hi: Just, wondering. Is there a convenient way to simply fillet the edge of a solid object like a box, cone or cylinder?

Hi Al,

nope. There's not even a horribly complicated way to fillet the edge of a Brep. Filleting breps is not exposed in the Rhino SDK (yet) and thus can only be accessed via the FilletEdge command.

I guess you could get the effect of a fillet edge with weaver birds catmul-Clark (probably spelled wrong). You have to convert to mesh tho. Or maybe the geometry to T-splints component, T spline have a natural filleted edge.

David -- Has this changed? I've built a highly parametric and intricate product model in Grasshopper to avoid manual workflow while prototyping. Not having fillet edge in Grasshopper fills me with an existential sadness.

Has this been made available via the API yet so it might at least be accessible to python?

PITY!!!!!

it would be too well if I could fillet edges automatically :) Is there maybe a new function in the newest Grasshopper version?

Hope for an answer :P

I've solved this problem by manual calculations of a filleted solid. But it cannot be applied to the solid objects. You have to create object by drawing base and top curves and loft. After top curve, script adds additional curves, it's offset and height formulised by fillet circle... then loft them to.
