Difference in introducing fillet in 2D and 3D medium

This tutorial highlights the difference in introducing fillets during a sketch (2D) and after an extrude command (3D).

  1. Step 1: Lets Begin...

    Let's start by making two rectangle of same dimension. Introduce fillet in one on them.


  2. Step 2: Extrude

    Extrude them and add fillet of same radius to another rectangle.

    Result - They are similar !


  3. Step 3: Undo + Undo and Extrude

    Go back to the sketch mode again, now extrude again but this time introduce some taper angle say - 5 degree.


    Now introduce fillet of same radius.



  4. Step 4: Check

    Can you spot the difference between the two ?

    Left side is the one where we introduced fillet during sketch. Right side is the one where we introduced fillet after extrusion. You can see the radius of fillet is constant in the right side whereas in left side the radius has gradually increase. This is because of the perspective projection.
