Curious did you do the filletSrf in sections. Because I did the top and had a gap from the side. I could not get it all around.

Each fillet connects exactly two surfaces. If you run FilletSrf command and click on each pair of surfaces you can make every fillet in that string of fillets with FilletSrf.

if you want a slightly faster way to make all the fillets at once you can use the script described below:

Filleting Tangent Surfaces

For those Rhino users who use the FilletSrf command and would like the process to be a little less tedious here is a Python script that will make strings of fillets that expands FilletSrf capability when filleting tangent surfaces: FilsrfEX.py (40.1 KB) This script works the same as the filletsrf command - just pick 2 surfaces that you want to connect by a fillet. The difference is the script will continue to make all the tangent fillets connected to the first fillet until it runs out of tangen…
