Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**

Being able to add curved fillets is a feature that will allow a more flowing form to be modelled. This will knock off sharp edges and allow users to smooth the edges of a body.

_Consider adding screenshots and as many details as possible, to help the Shapr3D team and the community understand why you need this feature. Describing your workflow helps us building the right feature._

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

I expect this feature to allow a curved fillet to be added to angular shapes, where users can alter the radius of the fillet as required.

_Eg. “this feature should allow me to edit and create constrained assemblies with 100 000+ parts” or “using this feature I should be able to create G2 continuous lofts and manipulate the shape real time” or “with this feature I want to be able to quickly find a part in my designs by searching for its name”.  
Understanding the outcomes that you expect from this feature helps us more than describing an actual implementation of the feature that you’d expect._

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

Not having this feature is preventing me from having smooth edges on my designs, everything looks sharp edged and having to use a chamfer instead doesn’t do the designs justice.

_Is this a workflow blocker for you? Is this why you can’t use Shapr3D for work? Is this slowing you down?_

Yes this is slowing me down, I am unable to create realistic forms.

@GregorL1009, Try this:

- Select an edge and push or pull the double headed arrow that appears. This will fillet or chamfer as required.

You really should also take some of the tutorials that Shapr3D provides on their amazing YouTube channel. Basics like this are covered in great detail.
