More Fillet Options

I have been taking onshape for a spin and noticed it has a some really unique fillet parameters which has got the Fusion fillet command feeling a bit lack luster.

 

I often want to fillet corners of things to create smooth transitional flows between geometry, but fusion seems to have rather soft limits of whats achievable.

In this example below Fusion will only allow a maximum fillet of apx 6mm. It does flow over one edge and alters the underlying geometry, but it does not allow it to flow over the other edge.

However, onshape allows a much larger fillet radius by altering the geometry of both edges, here it will actually let me go up to 22mm before computer says no. Although 12mm is a nice size for me here.

In this particular case, I don't want the geometry of the original edges altered, so by un-checking the little box titled "Allow edge overflow" wallah, I can achieve a nice huge fillet making a more appeasing transition between these two shapes with absolutely no effort.

 

So my questions is: Autodesk, how soon do we get this feature?

@3duke-engineering - can you share the example shown in your images?  We would like to take a look at this specific case to make sure that we understand it.  We think it has to do with the fillet starts to merge with adjacent faces.  We can create similar cases, of course, but it would be interesting to see this particular case as well.  So, if you still have this design around would you be willing to share it with us?  Thanks.

@3duke-engineering have you tried Chord Length instead of Constant radius type?

hope this helps,
