Can anyone please fillet the following surfaces with G2 continuity?

Its quite simple: McNeel neither understands the topic nor the workflow and thinks that surface quality is an “Automotive” thing and therefore neglects that complete field, otherwise we would have seen appropriate tools years ago.

The filleting tools in Rhino are still a complete joke, the matching tool is stoneage technology, and the way Rhino handles manipulating surface CPs is useless if you want quality. Additionally the lack of surface evaluation tools shows McNeels comprehension of surface quality.

McNeel simply had no idea about the value of the knowledge of Peter Salzmann and Michael Wieczorek, and thus saw no need to work with those guys. Autodesk did, and in that process improved their own tools to ICEM level. But thats just an “Automotive Thing” you know…

You are likely right, but, again, since many algorithms or UI approaches concerning interactive controls are not or no longer patented, why not just add them to Rhino’s functionality? It’s not that there is black coding magic necessary, or having to hire Fields Medal winners ; )

If you do industrial or consumer products for top-tier and even good second-tier brands, the design quality in terms of formal aesthetics is so very important these days. You even see it in some Danish, Italian and Swedish furniture brands.
