Synopsis

freeFormFillet( [surfaceIsoparm] [surfaceIsoparm] , [bias=float], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [depth=float], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [polygon=int], [positionTolerance=float], [range=boolean], [tangentTolerance=float])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

freeFormFillet is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a free form surface fillet across two surface trim edges or isoparms or curve on surface. The fillet surface creation has blend controls in the form of bias and depth. The bias value scales the tangents at the two ends across the two selected curves. The depth values controls the curvature of the fillet across the two selected curves. The default values of depth, bias are 0.5 and 0.5 respectively.

Return value

string[]Object name and node name

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Advanced flags
caching(cch) boolean createqueryedit
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
nodeState(nds) int createqueryedit
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.

Common flags
name(n) string create
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
constructionHistory(ch) boolean create
Turn the construction history on or off
object(o) boolean create
Create the result, or just the dependency node
polygon(po) int create
The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation
  • 0: nurbs surface
  • 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
  • 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
  • 3: Bezier surface
  • 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
range(rn) boolean create
Force a curve range on complete input curve
