Does anybody know How I can gice full round blend between 3 faces?

No, not edges, I want full round between three *faces*

 

the outcome will be the same, I think. It will work
with 3 faces as well. There are, however, 2 steps more
for you can only select 2 faces.

It doesn't work. May be, I don't get your point.

 
Hi,

it *may* not work on your model because of the faces you
try to blend. In my example they are straight and plain ;-)

I think what Bhaveshn is trying to achieve is this :
Imagine a trangular stiffening web on a casting. If the web then has a draft angle applied to the side faces the top face will vary in width. What you now need to do is completely remove the flat top face by applying a varying radius fillet that is tangential to both side faces and the top face - as the pattern maker may do with his sand paper.
As far as I know this is not possible with the fillet command - unless it's been added as an option in V19 (or V20?).
It is something that is in Catia and also, I think, Solid Works.
Try using a variable radius fillet and adjusting the radii.
I just tried creating a blue surf and using the replace face command but couldn't get it to work.

Hi bc,
Thanks.
I think, this is a good reply to clear my doubts, but not complete solution for we both, right?

 
so as usual: the initial question accompanied by a
picture would have been an advantage -- no guessing
needed ;-)

Bhaveshn,
You could try building the feature as surfaces, then uniting them with your solid body.
perhaps someone should submit an enhancement request.

Yes Don, It might be a godd idea to attach picture, I learned, thanx

 
Hi Don
How I can attach picture to postings?
