Use the Defeature: Fillets tool
to find and remove both round (convex) and fillet (concave) surfaces.
The Defeature: Fillets tool
allows you to select a round or fillet, and find all that are larger, smaller, or
similar (±5%) in size. In general, it is best to remove small fillets first, then
larger fillets, then rounds. When you get to a point where you cannot remove any
more, it is time to use other modeling tools and strategies to complete the geometry
simplification.
-
From the Geometry ribbon, click the tool.
-
From the guide bar drop-down menu, select whether to
find Rounds, Fillets, or All.
-
Click Find on the guide bar.
Rounds and fillets in the model are selected and highlighted
red.
-
Review each selected round/fillet by clicking and on the guide bar.
- Optional:
On the guide bar, click to define settings used to
find and select rounds/fillets of a specific size.
-
Remove rounds/fillets in the following ways:
- Remove all selected rounds/fillets by clicking Remove All on the guide bar.
- Remove individual rounds/fillets by left-clicking on a selected
round/fillet.
