More fillet fun (solved)

[Lazlow]

Hey Guys

Running 19.2 with occt760b (self compiled,both). I did this because it was my understanding it would help with the underlying issues with fillets(etc). I have redrawn this thing a number of times(before resorting to compiling) and each time the fillets go goofy. When it adds the fillets it goes about so far and stops. All attempts to add additional fillets fail (adding to open fillet or new fillet). Most of the time it hangs on the ball on the handle. So this last time I made the handles via mirror. You can start the fillet on either side and it will stop at the ball on the other side. Switch start points and it ends on the same spot on the opposite handle. You can start the fillets on opposite sides and opposite handles, so it fillets the top but not the bottom.

The only differences I really see on the compile vs repo versions is that it runs slightly faster and it does not crash on bad fillets.

Any suggestions?

The improvement mentioned is probably the not crashing part.

Fillets are a problem. As I understand it is is old core code in OCCT that they don't want to tackle for fear of breaking what no one knows any more.

Until the OpenCASCADE folks take it on, it is limited to what we know workarounds for.

Delete the fillet.

Select the last feature (cylinder), set refine = true.

Select an edge on top and another on bottom, do fillet.

Or maybe just remodel it simpler...

Thanks

It took me a bit to find the refine part(down in the Property->Data window).
