Fillet Edge Not working properly

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm trying to fillet the interior edge of the cutouts on this design. When I try, it selects or highlights edges at random, including objects I've subtracted and deleted. In the screen shot, I've only clicked a single edge. It makes it very hard to select further edges and sometimes fillets edges I didn't select. I've had this problem with other drawings as well.

 

Any ideas?

It is letting me fillet edge on the near side edges, but looks like the picture when attempting to select far side edges. When you do this in 2D Wireframe view style it is easier to accidentally select something that is on the back side of a solid. When you do this, it wants to select the near face of the solid instead. The 2D Wireframe view style lets you see the far edges, but it is not actually making the not-visible faces go away.

Hi,

 

>> It makes it very hard to select further edges and sometimes fillets

>> edges I didn't select.

I see that from time to time and can't get the incorrect highlighting solved except closing and reopening the dwg-file.

 

What might help, in case you don't need access to the 3D-Solid subobjects (the ones you used for boolean operations) is to run command _BREP (>>>details<<<). Then you can select the edges (and so the chain-selection) quite well.

BREP command seems to have fixed it!  Thank you
