kim Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Whatever happened to the Stitch Round Tool? I searched the manual but cannot find it. Does it have a new name or was it replaced by another tool? The Round between Faces does a similar operation but it does not allow for one to choose the type or size of radius as was possible with the Stitch Round?

snow Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 i think you're looking for the controlled rounding tool? but the objects need to be union'd first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi Snow, Thanks, yes the controlled rounding tool works for straight forward filleting (welding). Maybe I am using it incorrectly? I have an oval object intersecting an plane at an angle and cannot find a tool to fillet (weld) the two together. The first example is using the round face tool but the only variable is a single radius. So odd shapes are created.

Andrew West Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 There are a few tools to do what you are trying to accomplish, but upon first glance I would head to the lofting tools. That should allow you to have greater control of the blending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks Andrew for your recommendation. I will look into the lofting process, unfortunately it is a lot more work than selecting options in the old Stitch Round Tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnalexander1571 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi, Isn't this tool still here? I seem to have it in my 8.6 tools: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnalexander1571 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Isn't this tool and it's options what you are posting about? If not, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yes!!! Thanks Johnalexander1571. It appears that at some point FZ combined the Trim/Split tool with the Stitch Round Tool. The good news is that you can use the Stitch round function without having to use the Trim/Split What a great way to start the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
