Synopsis

filletCurve [-bias linear] [-blendControl boolean] [-caching boolean] [-circular boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-curveParameter1 float] [-curveParameter2 float] [-depth linear] [-freeformBlend boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-object boolean] [-radius linear] [-replaceOriginal boolean] [curve] [curve]

filletCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The curve fillet command creates a fillet curve between two curves. If no objects are specified in the command line, then the first two active curves are used. The fillet created can be circular (with a radius) or freeform (with a type of tangent or blend).

Return value

string[] Object name and node name

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

Flags

bias, blendControl, caching, circular, constructionHistory, curveParameter1, curveParameter2, depth, freeformBlend, name, nodeState, object, radius, replaceOriginal
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-radius(-r) linear createqueryedit
The radius if creating a circular fillet.
Default: 1.0
-depth(-d) linear createqueryedit
Adjusts the depth of the fillet curve. Available only if blendControl is true.
Default: 0.5
-bias(-b) linear createqueryedit
Adjusting the bias value causes the fillet curve to be skewed to one of the input curves. Available only if blendControl is true.
Default: 0.0
-curveParameter1(-cp1) float createqueryedit
Parameter where fillet curve will contact the primary input curve.
Default: 0.0
-curveParameter2(-cp2) float createqueryedit
Parameter where fillet curve will contact the secondary input curve.
Default: 0.0
-circular(-cir) boolean createqueryedit
Curve fillet will be created as circular if true or freeform if false.
Default: true
-freeformBlend(-fb) boolean createqueryedit
The freeform type is blend if true or tangent if false. Available if the fillet type is freeform.
Default: false
-blendControl(-bc) boolean createqueryedit
If true then depth and bias can be controlled. Otherwise, depth and bias are not available options.
Default: false
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.
Note: For advanced users only.
Common flags
-name(-n) string create
Name the resulting object
-constructionHistory(-ch) boolean create
Turn the construction history on or off
-object(-o) boolean create
Create the result, or just the dependency node
-replaceOriginal(-rpo) boolean create
Create "in place" (i.e., replace)
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// Create a circular fillet (by default) having radius 2.5 between the
// active curves:
 filletCurve -r 2.5;

// Create a freeform curve fillet between the two specified curves at
// these parameter values:
 filletCurve -cir no -cp1 0.5 -cp2 2.0 curve1 curve2;
