Enhancements to Surface Fillet, Freeform Blend, and Profile Blend
 
 
 

The following tools now support Bezier surface output:

The following modifications have been made to the surface filleting tools.

Bezier segmentation

You now have the option to create fillets as multiple Bezier surfaces, instead of a single multi-span surface, by turning on the Bezier Surfaces option in all seven tools. This option is found under the Advanced tab and only appears if Surface Type is set to MULTIPLE SURFACES.

Surface type is a new option that replaces Span Placement. Now you can more easily specify whether you want your fillet to be composed of only one surface (SINGLE SURFACE), or several surfaces (MULTIPLE SURFACES), and, in the latter case, if those should be Bezier patches.

The Bezier patches have a single span and their maximum degree in the U direction is set through the Explicit Control section. The default is degree 5.

Positional Continuity in Freeform Blend

The Freeform Blend tool now offers Position as a Continuity option (as well as Tangent and Curvature).

Ability to specify independent continuity level on both walls

In Freeform Blend and Profile Blend, independent specification of the level of continuity along both sets of boundaries is now possible.

The Continuity option has been replaced with Side 1 Continuity and Side 2 Continuity which can have different settings.

Indicators are placed on the geometry to show Side 1 and Side 2.
