Surface Fillet Help

So I haven't been working with Alias very long and I need some help with rounding and creating a surface. I created the tube shown below and everything has gone fine until now.

 

1. I need to create an endcap for the tube I created. The red arrows point to four seperate edges. To connect them, I used the "Square" tool then selected all four edges. I want to fillet the edges but every time I try to select the square edges to fillet, I can't. I've noticed gaps between the "square" surface and the edges I selected to create it.

 

Does anyone have a better method to create the end caps than the "Square" tool? Or is that the best way and I just suck at it? And then how would I fillet those edges?

 

2. I'm trimming some surfaces and I accidentally trim the wrong surface. I don't notice it until I have de-selected the trim tool. It's too late to revert and I can't undo it. Is there a way to undo the accidental trim?

 

Any help would be great, thanks

Hello,

 

It depends what tools you are used and what kind of surfaces you have, so I would suggest that yóu give more detailed information.

 

If you have history switched on you can always untrim and trim it again (you will find this in the submenu surface edit/trim/untrim)

 

 

cheers

Do you actually use the fillet tool or the round tool?

 

I suggest the fillet tool. In that case you do not have to choose edges but intersecting surfaces. The fillet tool does not care about gaps.You wont even have to intersect and trim the surfaces. And its history much more usable than the history of the round tool.

You just have to assure that the fillet radius is smaller than the edge radiuses you allready defined in your tube.

 

Regards
