Fillet/Round creates a rounded internal or external face on the part. You can fillet all edges of a face, selected sets of faces, selected edges, or edge loops.

Recommendations for Fillets
In general, it is best to follow these rules when making fillets:
- Add larger fillets before smaller ones. When several fillets converge at a vertex, create the larger fillets first.
-
Add drafts before fillets. If you are creating a molded or cast part with many filleted edges and drafted surfaces, in most cases you should add the draft features before the fillets.
-
Save cosmetic fillets for last. Try to add cosmetic fillets after most other geometry is in place. If you add them earlier, it takes longer to rebuild the part.
-
To enable a part to rebuild more rapidly, use a single Fillet operation to treat several edges that require equal radius fillets. However, if you change the radius of that fillet, all the fillets created in the same operation change.
