📝 How to do it yourself

Type FILLETEDGE and press Enter.
Select the edge or chain of edges.
Type the radius.
Press Enter twice to apply.

ℹ️ What FILLETEDGE actually does

Rounds the edge of a 3D solid with a radius. It is the 3D version of FILLET.

When to use it

Use it to soften machined edges, round off a moulded product, or make a model look manufactured rather than blocky.

⚠️ Common mistakes

Choosing a radius larger than half the thickness of the part, which fails.
Selecting a single edge when a chain is needed — use the Chain option.
