Splitting the Edge before Fillet Feature

This is a YouTube video. You can see one single edge has been split by 3 parts by deselecting the check mark option before filleting.

When tried with single edge error message appears.

1_ No single edge was splited.

 

2_ The reason is, sometimes selecting the all edge will lead to an error, so we have to select one edge at a time.... and sometimes is the opposite.
In this case, it works by selecting one edge at a time. That's why the S/W has several options.

So, if a chain of many edges have to be filleted, it is from the trial and error procedure we have to decided applicable method.

What is meant by S/W?

S/W means SoftWare.

 

NO and YES.

With experience you will understand when you have to use all the edges or individual edges, but........ sometimes the s/w may not respond as we think it would, so we have to try other options, not only toggle between all or individual edges, but also using variable fillets, changing set backs, or even using sweep to build a "custom" fillet... therefore....the trial and error can be applied, mainly when we are developing parts with more "organic" shapes.
