Working with edge editing commands

This section will cover the final group of specialized modify commands. This is a group of commands for editing the edges of solid objects. These edge editing tools are fillet and chamfer. Fillets as well as chamfers are added to reduce stress concentration on the edges of 3D solid and also sometimes to remove any sharp corners and make them smooth for use. So now, let’s dive deeper into the details of each command.

Using the FILLETEDGE command

As with the sharp corners, which can be replaced with rounded fillets using the fillet command in 2D shapes, the edges of a 3D solid body can be replaced with a rounded fillet using the FILLETEDGE command.

To start the FILLETEDGE command, you can type the command name, FILLETEDGE (or just type FILLETE ), and then press Enter. Alternatively, you can click on the Fillet Edge button found in the Edit panel on the Home tab in the 3D Basics workspace.
