Rounded Edges in KS7

[MrTomB]

Hi all

On both Mac and Windows we cannot use this function. If you select a part in the scene tree the option is not there until you explode each part until you get to a single surface, the option then appears but nothing happens. At the moment we have to go back into modelling it and a fillets

It will not work on a single surface. The problem seems to be how you import the parts. What file format are you importing?

[MrTomB]

Hi

I get that you cannot 'round edges single surfaces, this makes sense but it is a polysurface

Its going in as a 3DM file from Rhino. It is a valid polysurface all nicely joined together. Tried it as a STP file and seems to be okay, is that the issue? I have attached one of the parts that is non confidential

Let me take a look.

This is actually an import issue
We are looking into it.

In the meantime, you can try to Re-Tessellate (a Pro feature) your parts. After that, Rounded Edges should work.

I tried the plugin - available shortly - and it comes in nicely as a single piece. However, you will still need to re-tessellate to get a denser mesh. Then rounded edges will work.

Thanks for looking into it, resolved by re tessellating it.

The plugin for Rhino doesn't work for KS7 on Mac by the way

[guest84672]

Correct - it doesn't exist yet. It will be available later today.

If you check "import Nurbs" then the file imports as a single object. But there is still an issue with merging the patches. So in order for rounded edges to work you will need to retessellate as Dries suggested.
