Filleting problems

I have two versions of a guitar body in fusion

 

V1: sketched the outline with arcs and curves making sure all lines joined with tangents

      this body fillets perfectly for an 8mm fillet

 

V2 the sketchoutline is a spline and two straight lines

    this body will not fillet beyond 3mm

 

 

From my research I thought that once all lines to be filleted were tangents to each other.. all would be ok.

see screenshot attached

 

can anyone help me why the body extruded from a spline will not fillet beyond 3mm and how to fix it?

 

thanks

Chris

when a curve IS tangent, but not selected, it can also cause fillet to fail.  what happens if you delete the indicated fillet?

I have noticed this also.  I just select them one at a time and do them if it doesnt "all select"

 

The real bugger is the reverse ie when you want to delete the fillet, sometimes it is impossible. 

 

So my point / tip is do fillets and chamfers as the very last thing in case you want to back out.
