Great video! Some details elaborating on why certain settings are chosen would be nice - what does unselecting frenet do? what's the difference beween continuity C0, G1 and G2, why does the last step about creating a parametric solid do, etc. Thanks a bunch!

Fantastic!
I like that you show the keyboard shortcuts. Thx
Great video as always. I really enjoyed your custom fillet method. Looking forward to your next one!
Thanks Dong!

Truly awesome.
Masterclass!
Thanks!
@@dmitryzlotnikov6587 thankyou!
*Manual Fillet Creation in CAD Software Using Surface Tools*
* *0:00* Introduction: The video demonstrates how to create manual fillets (rounded edges) in CAD software, as the built-in tool has limitations.
* *0:11* Default Fillet Tool Limitation: The default fillet tool fails when a larger fillet radius is required.
* *0:47* Goal: The tutorial aims to show how to create a manual fillet with a desired radius using surface modeling.
* *1:04* Initial Setup: Creates a basic solid model using extrusions from sketches.
* *2:55* Cut Feature: A cut is made using another extruded shape, creating edges to be filleted.
* *3:12* Default Fillet Failure: The default fillet tool fails with a radius of 5.
* *3:50* Manual Fillet Approach: The video switches to using manual fillet using the surface workbench.
* *4:04* Downgrading a Cut: The initial cut feature is cloned and downgraded to access the individual faces for modification.
* *4:45* Creating a Group: A new group is created, and all the related faces are added to the group.
* *5:19* Preparing for Fillet: The model is now prepared for the manual fillet process.
* *5:23* First Fillet Sweep: Creates circles on the edge points for sweeping operations, each with a radius of 8, the fillet radius.
* *6:33* Sweeping Circles: Uses sweep tools to create solid fillets.
* *7:15* Cutting Solids: Cuts the model with the newly created sweep objects.
* *7:35* Hiding the Circles: The circles are hidden to improve visibility.
* *7:42* Creating a Blank Curve: A blank curve is created between two edges. The start and end sizes of the curve are set to 1.
* *8:34* Sweeping Along Curve: The blank curve is used as the profile to sweep along an edge, creating a surface.
* *9:04* Splitting Surfaces: A line is drawn on top view and then extruded to split a surface.
* *9:51* Extrusion: The line is then extruded slightly.
* *10:33* Surface Splitting: The extruded line is used to split the surface.
* *11:19* Creating Blank Curve (again): Another blank curve is created between two split edges. The start and end parameters are set to 1 to make it tangent.
* *11:55* Sweeping Again: Sweeps the new blank curve along an arc to generate a surface.
* *12:32* Removing Surface: Removes part of the surface on one side, in preparation for mirroring.
* *12:47* Mirroring: The created surface is mirrored to the other side of the model.
* *13:58* Mirroring the Second Fillet: The previously created sweep for the other fillet is also mirrored to the opposite side.
* *14:14* Filling Surface: Uses the "Filling" tool from the surface workbench to generate a surface between the edges.
* *14:50* Union: Unions all faces to make creating the fill surface easier.
* *15:22* Filling Again: The Filling tool is used again to create a smooth surface between the edges, and all surfaces are set to G1 contiuity.
* *16:11* Removing unwanted surfaces: Removes extra faces to prep for a final fill.
* *16:36* Filling: Uses the fill tool again to smooth the surface.
* *16:51* Mirror: The final surface is mirrored across the model.
* *17:02* Parameter Solid: Converts the surfaces to a final solid object.
* *17:22* Final Result: The final result is achieved, and viewers can see the detailed manual fillet.

Great skills, unfortunately its over complicated for everyday use.
