Just a discussion on blending and why it isn't always straightforward over on the MoI forum. Interesting how both ACIS and Parasolid struggle a bit with what seems like a simple job. http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3651.1

Hi Martin
My guess would be that ACIS and Parasolid are only creating a fillet if it everywhere meets the kernel definition of a fillet, driven by manufacturing standards. I wonder if it's a radial fillet throughout the high curvature area or if it's switching to a loft approximation in that area.

That's not meant to be a ding on the integrityware kernel, I think it does some excellent stuff.
