Hey guys,
I was working on a project that required filleting the inside edges of a lot of pockets. I got quite annoyed because I had to click very precisely to be able to select the edges. So anyways, it would be really great if selecting edges of a concave areas was easier.
After doing a quick code search and a little experimenting, I found a really easy way to achieve this: In the function SoFCUnifiedSelection::getPickedPoint change the tolerance of the intersection points comparison to 1. So would you consider this change, or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,
I'm all for it!
I think it would be best if you created a bug report on Mantis. The forum is great for discussion, but subjects tend to be forgotten quickly. http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/

Re: Increase the tolerance for selecting edges
you can also select the bottom face of the pocket and all the edges get filleted....
Stop whining - start coding!
Re: Increase the tolerance for selecting edges
Yes, certainly, but in my case I wanted the top edges of the pocket to have a different fillet radius, so I had to select the corner edges separately.
Re: Increase the tolerance for selecting edges
Unfortunaltely its not that ease. Since you have the problem that in some areas are a lot of possible selections and increasing the tolerance can have a negative effect. It can mean you can only select the faces...
But that is just a guess. We have to experiment...

This feature would be a sweet present to have in 0.17
