Radii is already plural. Radiis is not a word.
Ahh... right you are Anonymous, I edited the audio track to fix the error. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks.... this tutorial was of great help since i always found Filleting the most difficult task.
very well executed....
1:38 "now that I have a radius of 2, any fillet that joins with that should be less than 2"
I find that assumption baffling...Why can't a mating fillet have a larger radius? That and other filleting quirks have resulted in my work flow where I surface model in Rhino, stitch everything together and do parametric filleting in Solid works which is a lot more forgiving, even if the adjacent fillet is greater than 2 :)
Hello- the thing is that Rhino does not know a fillet is a fillet once it is created. So, rolling ball, so to speak, larger than the radius of the existing fillet will create a fillet surface that is self intersecting in Rhino. In feature based applications, fillets are features and when you modify them, they can all be recalculated together. In Rhino, they all need to be done at the same time for those intersections to be resolved. In general, in Rhino, make all the bigger fillets first, then wrap the smaller ones around them.
