Fillet edge, could it be more intuitive?

Serengeti (Rhino BETA)

I have a few suggestions for possibly making the fillet edge command easier to use and easier to learn. I am currently helping a few people learn Rhino and filleting edges of solids is a pain point.

  1. Either make the interface similar to using filletsrf or eliminate the need to select “SetAll” in the menu each time a user wants to change the dimension.
  2. Make “LinkHandels=YES” default
  3. Make “Preview=YES” default would be nice, but I understand if this off by default so the preview doesn’t crash the program for complex parts.

If this is not a consensus, maybe make it possible to change the defaults. These are things that other programs do that make this function more intuitive (in my opinion) and would make it easier for new users to learn Rhino

Thank you for considering.

you can modify how he commands in Rhino work simply by modifying your button commands.

see pages 16-18 in the level 2 manual (help>learn Rhino>tutorials and samples> level 2 pdf)

for how to do this.

the tldr,
shift +right click a button, then edit the command string to have the options you want.

any option in teh command line for a tool can be added to the command string for a button. Or you can copy a button, and make different versions of a toll based on your needs, for instance, you can make a fillet edge with linked handles, and one without etc.
