Re: Issue with fillet failing on specific part

Ouch ! The file should have been attached, but something failed during upload. Here it is. If you're not very familiar with FreeCAD, my file could be weird. Actually I tried with Fillet from both PartDesign & Part. Thus just delete Fillet001 & Pad001 to get a clean base. Your original shape...
