Re: When should fillets and chamfers be applied: early or late?

if a model would not become even more stable if fillets are applied as soon as possible in the modeling process, because all subsequent modeling steps cannot affect the fillets. Since V0.17 I have been applying as many fillets as early as possible in the model tree for the very reason you mention. ...
