![]() ![]() So that's how to fix the three most common issues when you're using the fillet tool. And now that will work and keep the curve because those points were not too close to the end. Now we can go back to our fillet tool and click on this corner. And then these lines here, if you wanted them to be a curve line, you can leave them this way.īy switching these two busier curves. So now we have these extra points near the end, but not too close to the end. So, for instance, you can insert a point right about here and you just right click on the line and click insert point, making sure you're in the note edit mode. You can also insert a point near the end, but not too close to the end to make it work properly. ![]() And if we go back to the note editing, let's say you had a shape that needed that curve line, but you wanted that corner to be fillet. And one thing to note with that last issue, let me undo that.īring it back. Now, if we zoom out, you can see now our star has all rounded corners. So now if we go to the fillet tool and click on that corner, you can see now it's going to work properly. So we can turn that into a line by clicking the letter L and then this point is going to be an extra point so we can right click on that and click delete point.Īnd now if we zoom out, you can see that looks much better. L for line And now it will be a straight line. The keyboard shortcut for that to make it a little bit easier is hover over the line and click the letter L. In order to make these straight lines, you can right click on the curve and then click to line and that will make it a straight line. So if you grab one of these handles and move it, you can see it's actually a curved line. And that's because these are considered bezier curves when instead they should be straight lines.Īnd you can tell they're bezier curves by the blue smooth points and these handles here. And you can see this one looks a little bit different. And we're going to select this one and click the letter N. So that's probably the second most common issue is the nodes are not joined together. And then if we zoom out and now we try to use the fillet tool and click on this corner. And when we click join, it's going to make one close vector. And you can see we have selected one open vector. So in order to connect them, we're going to use our join tool, which the keyboard shortcut for this is the letter J. So if we undo that move to move it back now, those nodes are touching, but they're not connected. But if you click on that and move it, you could see these two nodes were not connected together. And that doesn't necessarily mean it's the issue. ![]() But we do see this green node, which means it's the start point. We can even draw the zoom box around the corner.Īnd you can see we don't see any extra nodes. If we select this one and click the letter N to go to our node editing and we can zoom in closer to this one. There's an extra node too close to the corner. And now when we zoom out and then go back to our fillet tool and then select this corner. So you can just right click on that node and click delete point And you can see that did not change the line at all. We don't need that one right here next to the corner. And now you could see the issue even closer.Īnd the issue is this extra node right here. And the very first one, you can zoom to a drawn box so we can draw a box around there. And if you want to get even closer to that corner, you can go up to your Zoom tool. So if we select the shape and then click the letter N to go to our node editing, you could see this looks just fine.īut if we zoom in even closer we could start to see the issue there. And this one is one of the most common issues. So let's close down this tool and let's zoom into that first one. So we're going to look at all of those individually. And each one of these is a separate issue. So I actually created these issues just for this video. Down here, I'm getting the same issue and right here I'm getting the same issue. So we're going to look at how we could fix that one. We're not getting a checkmark and that's a common issue a lot of people see. So we're going to click on all these corners and see if we have any issues. So any time you hover over a corner and you see that little checkmark and then click that will mean that it did it successfully. So as you can see, when you click on that corner, it will put a nice radius corner and then you could also click on it again. So in the 2D view, all you have to do is click on the corners that you want the radius. And let's say we wanted a normal fillet with a quarter inch radius. To start, you could see I have a simple star here and we're going to go to the fillet tool, which is in the Edit Objects menu. In this quick tip, we're going to look at some common issues with the fillet tool and how to fix them. ![]()
