Hi all,

I am a new Viacad user, using version Viacad Pro v9. I have a hard time understanding how the associativity works between geometry and the solids created from that geometry. For example, I create a single line rectangle, and insert a fillet in the top right corner. I then draw a circle somewhere inside that geometry.

I use the push-pull function to create the solid. I can change the diameter of the circle and it will be reflected immediately onto the solid, but if I change the fillet radius in the Inspector windows, the associativity is lost and the solid disappear.

How can I change this corner fillet value ? Maybe a basic question, but what happens if I want to change this radius when I am almost done with drawing the part ?

Thank you for your help.

Luc

Hi Luc

There is associativity between the curves that create solids and surfaces in ViaCAD. However, there is no associativity between the curves (fillet arc and four lines). To create a part that is associative with the fillet, instead of filleting the curves, try to edge fillet the solid.
