Applying a Full Round Fillet
To create a full round fillet, you must select three sets of faces. Usually, one face in each set is
sufficient. The fillet is tangent to all three sets of faces, but the middle set is on the end and that
face is completely eliminated. Figure 7.39 shows several applications of the full round fillet.
Notice that it is not limited to faces of a square block, but it also propagates around tangent
entities and can create a variable-radius fillet over irregular lofted geometry.
