NOTE Be aware that special workflow-assisting options exist for the full round fillet. after selecting
a face, you can right-click to advance to the next selection box. if you are already at the last selection
box, you can click oK and finish the feature. you might instinctively reach for the tab key, but remem-
ber to look at the cursor to find that backward green l-shaped arrow or the check mark.

Building a Setback Fillet
The setback fillet is the most complex of the fillet options. You can use the Setback option in
conjunction with constant-radius, multiple-radius, and variable-radius fillet types. A setback
fillet blends several fillets together at a single vertex, starting the blend at some “setback”
distance along each filleted edge from the vertex. At least three, and often more, edges come
together at the setback vertex. Figure 7.40 shows the PropertyManager interface and what a
finished setback fillet looks like. The following steps demonstrate how to use the setback fillet.
