Rhino WIP Feature: FilletSrf improvements

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)

I can see what is happening there. It is a result of two things:

  1. there is no tangent continuity along the whole set of edges.
  2. you have enabled the Extend and the Trim options.

the ‘continue-across-faces’ option stops at the non-tangent discontinuity and extends the fillet to touch the surface boundary on the other side. Next, the fillet boundaries are used to trim and it chooses, correctly, to keep the triangular part and discard the remainder of the surface.

My advice is to unset the Extend option. You will need to think about what to do with the discontinuity.

Or first make the whole string of edges tangent continuous by inserting a small filleted edge - this changes the design though:

When I run into a situation like this, following your advice, I’ll try to make the edges tangent.
@menno In practice, the command works well when there is tangency along the entire edge of the object, but it fails when one edge is simply placed in coincidence.

Ok, I didn’t expect a stop at the kink, but when I think about it, it’s very clear.
So my fault, not a fault in FilletSrf.
