Every Fillet Option in Fusion 360 | How To Use Every Fillet Type in

[@ChrisHeerschap]

Best tutorial I saw for understanding all the different fillet types and how they work, really appreciate it. One thing I noticed when playing with the Full Round fillet is that it changes based on _where_ on the selected surface you click. If you click near an edge, it will take that adjacent face as the "side face" for the full round, so you can control which direction the full round goes based on where on the surface you click. That was a bit of an "aha" moment for me, and it even highlights what it thinks are the side faces as you move the mouse around the selected surface, so it's trying to help you understand what it's going to do.

Glad it was helpful and thanks for the tip! I don't think I ever noticed that but will pay attention next time I use the full round fillet!

[@MichaelTavel]

Excellent guide and walkthough! Hadn't seen this explained as well anywhere else. Thanks!!

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Glad it helped!

This is an extremely good tutorial. Keep it up and you will be #1 design instructor.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Wow, thanks!

[@Djeez2]

Great explanation in a good pace. Thanks!

Holy Cow!! I've been looking for a way to do that but didn't know it was called the "Full Round Fillet"! I'm so glad I stayed till the end. Thank you! Great Video! Subscribing now.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Glad I could help! and thanks for the sub!

Fantastic. I’ve been using fusion for a while now and stopped watching videos once I got the basics. I’ve been feeling limited in my work and this really opened my eyes. I didn’t realize how much I was missing, in just fillets alone! Thanks so much. Like & sub from me!

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Thanks JR! A lot of this channel has grown from videos answering user questions so if anything comes up don't hesitate. I have a pretty big list but i'll get there :)

[@jrbarker7362]

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign awesome! I look forward to watching some more videos

[@bwilliams1815]

This was well needed. That's for this Matt.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

No problem Brian.

Would have loved to see tangency weight explained too but this was pretty awesome. Thank you.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Glad it was helpful! While it isn't exactly what you want I do have 2 videos talking more about tangency weight and tang/curv fillet kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5DKZmRtjbt2rdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5fGmJx8gq2Ul80

SUPER helpful! Didn’t know what I didn’t know!

Great Video! Thanks Matt, very useful information.

My pleasure!

This is great, thank you! Dumb question... but I'm still trying to understand literally what the fillet 'radius' actually means. What is it referring to? I'm asking because I noticed that the face geometry of the edges will significantly change the actual size of different fillets set to the same radius.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

No dumb questions! The radius. Think about if you had a complete circle with 10mm diameter (5mm radius). When you apply a fillet with a radius value what you are saying is to apply a true arc to the edge selection with tangency to the faces around it. Depending on the angle of those faces you will get wider or narrower width fillets with the same radius. The fillet option "Chord Length" is a way you can define the width of the fillet instead of the radius value so even if you are dealing with a part that has a changing angle between faces, it will keep the fillet the same width. Does that help?

Keep up the amazing content!

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Thanks! Will do!

Variable fillet works only on single edge, it really sucks.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Yes and no. It works across multiple edges as long as they are curvature continuous. But yeah you couldn't have 3 edges intersecting in the same variable fillet. I am not sure/aware of any program that allows that but seems like a cool feature.

[@xxxxxx-pq5el]

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Plasticity have it.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

@@xxxxxx-pq5el Very True, i was thinking in the context of traditional CAD. But you are very correct that Plasticity can do that. To be honest I rarely use variable fillet. Either traditional fillets or I manually blend edges. Maybe I should use it more.

[@ChiCaps]

A filled is a fillet and round edge isn't. Tell the folks at fusion 360:(

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

@@ChiCaps not sure I understand what you mean.

[@Toffypops]

how to do a negative fillet on a outwards edge? rounded inwards not outwards

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

There isn't a specific fillet option for doing that but you can "cheat" a bit and use the pipe tool. Use Create > Pipe and then selection your edges. you may need to hold down CTRL to temporarily disable the preview so you can select more non-tangent edges. Tweak the settings for the pipe and let it cut away.

[@Toffypops]

​​@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign it would have been nice if it had a reverse feature where you could flip the fillet, in addition an angle feature lile with chamfer and maybe a value option. Maybe it would be hard to pull of. I guess the best controll would be a plane on angle and then a circle or arch on a sketch then an extrude

[@ChiCaps]

Variable radius first option?

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

yeah because all the rest are on the other block.
