according to the options we have with “Fillet Edge”, i would like to have the same possibilities wih the fillet(curve) component.
for a present scenario i need to only fillet the convex corners of the shown curve, but i could also adress the concerned corners via member component.
i could not find a component to allow this differentiation while filleting. any suggestions for a simple but stable workaround?
You can isolate the desired, external corners by drawing the convex hull of all the corner points. Only the external corner points lie on the hull curve. I then use Anemone to recursively fillet each desired curve corner.
“recursively” is not correct here. Anemone is using simple iteration (looping) to repeatedly fillet a curve one vertex at a time. This is necessary because Fillet acts on only one value of ‘t’ at a time, producing a separate copy of the filleted curve for each value. I understand why but it’s still unfortunate, unexpected behavior.
thanks for your suggestions!
anemone looks good, but in this specific case it´s desirable to work with standard-gh-components.
i quickly tested mahan´s solution and it seems to work fine. there will be situations where some fillets fail (when exceeding a certain radius or when the original pentagons get too close, …), but for for my needs as an “inhouse solution” its stable enough.
so thanks again
I just realized there are some expectional cases that can not be done by the hull convex method. I explain the error in D1. I develpoed a new method which fix this problem and the method is explained in D2. You can find the code in the file attached here.
