Yeah you almost cant read the error message so get closer please. 🙂  
There was a fillet there before just removed it to be able to edit the model better but not even that part.

How can I get a filet back there? Tried to extrude and back but no luck.

Try to apply a filet to this edge first:

It is always a good practice to filet the edges that are perpendicular to large faces first.  
The region causing your problem will surely be this one:

The filet-tool can’t find an end due to the not-tangent, short edge.  
If you filet the perpendicular edges first, there is a tangentiality, and the filet of the large round edge should be okay.

Thanks Matt, I removed that face but it is still not working.Shapr calculates for about 15 seconds to not do the fillet. Tried different orders but I wont get a filet there that was put there without problems. The removal and putting back does not work.

Will now try by removing that other high angle but I dont really see why Shapr has to have problems here.

Not even like this, not even 0,1 fillet.

If I export/import as a STEP, the fillet can be set without problems so I think it’s a bug? How can I export a single object of a design as Shapr so the shapr staff can check it? Would like to continue with native Shapr.

Hey @Peter_b,  
If you isolate the part you wish to share and export it in X\_T, STEP, or IGES, only that part will be exported which you can see in the modeling space.

OK but will you see te problem if I export as STEP and upload it? If you import the step it will work fine. The problem is with the shaper file.

No problem, please use the X\_T format in this case. That is the default Parasolid format which doesn’t have to be converted during the export. Or you can send us the entire Shapr3D design too.

_Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, shapr, step, iges, stp, igs, zip, svg, mov, pdf, mp4, usdz)._

X\_T is not allowed. Where do I send it? Can you PM me an email?
