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

Currently, in Shapr3D, there isn’t a straightforward intuitive way to create rounded corners for sketches, which is an essential design element in many industries. Currently, users have to manually construct rounded edges by piecing together arcs and lines in sketches, or rounding edges after extrusion which can be a tedious process and is prone to minor inconsistencies, especially when replicating across multiple edges or objects. By having a rounded corner tool similar to Adobe’s, it would significantly streamline the sketch creation process.

Example

 ![Rounded corners tool](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/d/8/d87dc2e14e920a5906af536db81b75d1c76b40a1.png)

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

With the introduction of a rounded corner tool, I anticipate the following outcomes:

1. Faster sketch creation process, allowing users to intuitively round corners
2. Precise control over the radius of the rounded corner, enabling more consistent and professional designs.
3. Enhanced flexibility in design ideation, where users can quickly switch between sharp and rounded corners to compare aesthetics or functionality.
4. Streamlined user experience, aligning Shapr3D’s interface with industry standards.

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

Without a rounded corner tool:

1. The process becomes slower and less efficient, requiring more steps to achieve a simple design element.
2. There’s potential for inconsistent designs due to manual rounding methods.
3. For those transitioning from other software that has this feature, there’s a steeper learning curve.

In essence, while it’s not a complete workflow blocker, it does add unnecessary friction and inefficiency to the design process, potentially slowing down project timelines.

On the roadmap, coming in the next few months. We are adding a lot of features to sketching in the coming months.

Hi Istvan, is there a chance to get 3D sketching? Best regards

Did this ever get implemented and I missed it or did it get pushed back on the ol’ roadmap?

Not yet, hopefully soon. It’s been requested for a long time.

One of those wouldn’t happen to be a “follow path” pattern tool would it? 🙏🏻

@JMastran Use the sweep tool. Unless I’m misreading this.

Sweep works fine with a sketch, but patterns that utilize bodies are currently limited to linear and circular. I’m requesting a path pattern tool.

Don’t suppose slotted holes will be one of those features? Doing them manually is tedious.

Any luck with this feature? This is important for 2d cnc things.

> The problem that this feature will solve: Adding fillets to a sketch is a tedious multi-step process. There is no tool to select two lines and connect them with a tangent fillet radius. Alternatively, using the arc tool it’s possible to connect two lines with a radius. With auto constraints turned on, Shapr will make the two ends of the arc coincident to the lines you are connecting, but will not make it tangent. Furthermore, while setting the arc radius, if either connecting line isn’t loc…

Good luck getting any feedback I have asked for feedback on many other issues an no response even when I emailed the Shapr3D team member. Makes me wonder if they are still there.

Getting to the point that I might cancel my subscription.

Hallo, I ´m missing the tool as well.  
@Istvan it would help a lot for 2d cnc work. I hope it will come soon  
Thanks and happy new year

I like shapr because modeling is super fast! But we could be so much faster if we just fillet or chamfer corners during sketch.

Hello, what is the current status of the rounding feature? A lot of time has slowly but surely passed.
