Fillets and blends in GH

Hi all

Old Rhino-user/new GH-user here. I've finally been able to take some time to (try to) learn Grasshopper. Now I have a nice, complex (?) definition... To complete it I would need to extend a surface (like "ExtendSrf" in Rhino) - to be able to make a closed polysurface... and then add some fillets and/or blends. Any idea if (or when :-) we could have something like "FilletSrf", "BlendSrf", "FilletEdge" and "BlendEdge" (and "ExtendSrf", as I mentioned) in Grasshopper?

Thanks!

Philip

Hey,

Grasshoper has got some Fillet functions. before creating the surface produce some edges and the fillet you want to have. then create your surfaces.

Best Regards

Johannes

Thanks for your reply Johannes! I could use the curve fillet component and use these fillet curves as cross-sections and the surface edges as rails, but that would not give me a true FilletSrf as the 2-rail-sweep doesn't seem to have rail curve options for tangency (or continuity)...
