Create a fillet curve between two existing curves
You
can create a circular or freeform fillet. The freeform fillet offers
more position and shape control.
To
create a circular fillet curve between two curves
- Select
curve points on each curve about where you want the fillet to begin and
end. (The radius you enter for the fillet will determine the actual
start and end points.)
- Select
Edit Curves > Curve Fillet > .
- Click Circular and
enter the Radius for the fillet.
- To
trim the curves back to the fillet end points, turn on Trim.
When Trim is on, you can also turn
on Join to join the curves together
into one new curve.
- Click Apply.
To
create a freeform fillet curve between two curves
- Select
a curve point on each curve to specify the start and end points
of the fillet.
- Select
Edit Curves > Curve Fillet > .
- Click Freeform.
- To
trim the curves back to the fillet end points, turn on Trim.
When Trim is on, you can also turn
on Join to join the curves together
into one new curve.
- Click Apply.
NoteYou cannot create a fillet using a curve-on-surface.
What if...?
Maya
does not create a fillet curve?
- Do
one of the following:
- Maya
may not create a curve if its not possible to fillet the selected
curve with the radius you entered. Try entering a different radius
and click Apply again.
- Try
reshaping the curves so they intersect.
