Chapter 8 Creating and Working with Solid Model Features 195 Radius = 1.0000 Select an edge or [Chain/Loop/Radius]: R↵ Enter fillet radius or [Expression] 1.0000: .25↵ Select an edge or [Chain/Loop/Radius]: (pick the edge to be filleted or rounded) Select an edge or [Chain/Loop/Radius]: ↵ Press Enter to accept the fillet or [Radius]: ↵ (this fillets the selected edge, but you can enter the Radius option or use the linear stretch grip that appears in the preview to adjust the fillet radius at this point) After selecting the fi rst edge, you can continue to select edges to fi llet or enter the Chain, Loop, or Radius option. The Chain option is used to select a chain of continuous edges that have rounded corners, Figure 8-20A. The Loop option is similar to the Chain option and is used to select a loop of edges, Figure 8-20B. When using the Loop option, the Next option can be used to select the adjacent loop of edges. After using the Chain or Loop option, you can select individual edges by entering the Edge option. Once all edges are selected, press [Enter]. Use the preview to confi rm that the current radius is acceptable and press [Enter] to complete the command. The FILLET command works in a similar manner. Once the command is entered, specify the fi llet radius and then select the edges to fi llet. You can continue to select edges or enter the Chain, Loop, or Radius option. The primary advantages of the FILLETEDGE command compared to the FILLET command are 1) a preview is shown and 2) a linear stretch grip is associated with the fi llet. The linear stretch grip allows for subobject editing, which is discussed in Chapter 11. FILLET Ribbon Home Modify Fillet Type FILLET F Pick the edge A B Figure 8-19.
