Q. I would like to apply chamfer/fillet to the edge of the object.
A. Use the Edit tab under Edit Edge > Chamfer to perform the operation.
Chamfer or fillet is applied to the geometry edge of a 1D object (wire or 1D member) or a 2D object (surface and 2D member).
For separated edges, the feature operates by selecting each edge, and for continuous edges (Poly Line or surface edges), both edges and vertices can be selected.
For separated edges, continuous objects are formed when the Merge to PolyLine option is checked under Options. For continuous edges, a continuous edge is formed regardless of whether or not the Option is checked.
