3 bend intersection radius not working?

Is it possible that the 3 bend round corner is broken? I've been trying to get it round the same way as the 2 bend intersection, as it gives a nicer bend after creation in real life. See the image below. On the left side is the 3 bend, which shows straight corners and on the right is the 2 bend which shows the round one. No matter what I select in the 3 bend options is remains the same. This should also be a possibility to make this round and this is something that makes cleaner bends in reality.

Is this something that is bugged, or currently not supported?

I would like to reply with a bit more detail to this old post. In a 3 bend using the round setting, shouldn't this also be round the same as the 2 bend as seen on the image I attached?

I have had this issue too. you will only see the results when you flat pattern the part. The 3D model will always display the 3 bend corner this way. 

Cycle the different relief shapes and open the flat pattern to see how the corners are being handled. Wish they would work on a visual representation while the part is folded.

Thanks for that awnser @pat.b_designs I never checked the flat pattern, good to know that it's correct there! At least we know it works now and indeed hopefully they will work out a visual representation for this in the near future.

I ran into the same problem. 3-bend corner rules are not applied. However, it is not only a visual problem. Also the flat pattern is not updating. If I change a 2-bend corner, it updates correctly, if I change a 3-bend corner in the same dialog, it does nothing. Frustrating.
