Deselecting the Tangent Propagation option
Dealing with a large number of fillets ............................................................
Figure 7.32 shows a model with a bit of a filleting nightmare. This large plastic tray requires many
ribs underneath for strength. Because the ribs may be touched by the user, the sharp edges need to
be rounded. Interior edges need to be rounded also for strength and plastic flow through the ribs.
Literally hundreds of edges would need to be selected to create the fillets if you do not use an
advanced technique.
