Chamfer and Fillet Tools (thread)

Chamfer tool for edges in family editor. Thank you.

41 Comments

This add-in is just perfect, but for some reason is not available for 2022 or higher Revit Versions

Please add the chamfer command, and any other 3D solid editing commands that are available in AutoCAD and not in Revit.

We need a simpler tool for direct 3D editing. Some basic operations like fillet and chamfer shouldn't be as hard as "create some Void-Generic-Super-Complicated-Family and apply it everywhere". Just make possible to apply fillet and chamfer on the instance-geometry placed, without  modifying the family and it will rocks.

7 years later and 230 votes later still no significant improvement on this essential feature.

Please provide a chamfer tool.

 

Very simple. Very basic. Still outstanding.

 

Shouldn't be that hard.

Thank you Autodesk for moving my post and aggregating to an existing one on the same subject.

 

I did notice the original post from this thread is from 2016!

 

Having worked with Revit for more than 20 years, I can agree there have been improvements through times. It just baffles me that some of the simpler things remain outstanding.

A simple tool that will add a chamfer to modelled elements, namely slabs, walls and floors. Current methods make it difficult for the chamfer cut to follow the edge of elements or requires model in-place elements which clients hate.

There is a tool in SolidWorks software which creates fillet, chamfer, Bevel & a lot when selecting the 3D edges instead of just sketch in Revit. Some innovative idea from that software also can be used in Revit. This tool is necessary for modelling

Thanks for rising this..

You can view this video of fillet & chamfer feature in SolidWorks. If somewhat similar tools we get for Revit we can use it for Walls, floors, roof, any type of element in project or family editor

Fillet / chamfer exists in AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion...why is it not an option in Revit?

Fillet option is present in Revit in the sketch mode. But if you see the SolidWorks video you would find a fillet & chamber tool which does more functionality than the sketch fillet we have right now. I want Autodesk to add a feature as we see in the video below to increase the efficiency of fillet & chamber.

Watch the videos on the links given below

Request everyone to increase the vote so Autodesk can see & add this feature

Is it possible to Chamfer /  Filler 3D edges in Revit instead of creating a void form just to chamfer /  filler 3D edges

Softening the edges of the solid geometries (in cases where needed) is one of the things that make the presentations more professional.

It would be great if Autodesk could make a decision about it and introduce a new tool for 3D edging or 3D fillets.

Currently, the alternative method is to use void arcs at the edges, which impacts the file size of the family, especially when used excessively.

@MehrshadV94GH  Are you looking for this tool at a project level or within the family editor

 

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones please combine with Chamfer and Fillet Tools (thread) - Autodesk Community

@wr.marshall I'm specifically looking for a 3D filleting tool within the Family Editor, particularly for Loadable Family Templates and In-Place Families. Additionally, it would be more efficient if this tool included an option to specify breaks in length, allowing for different types of fillets/Chamfer where needed.

The link above seems to be a mix of fillet and chamfer for both project level and family Editor.

A nice to have addition when Autodesk decide to add this HOPEFULLY ONE DAY SOON, would be fillet with variable radius

 

Ie on a 100x100x100 cube one end has a radius of 1 and on the other end a radius of 50. maybe at about 15%(from 1 side) mark you require a radius of 45. Revit should automatically blend radius to whatever user inputs.

 

Basically similar to how inventor puts blended radius along a path.

To add to this rediculousness. even once you get it to work going the long way around, it shows double lines that both appear under the hidden line family / vg override. WHYYYY
