- [Instructor] In this final lesson on fillets we master one more filleting skill. Here we check out the default settings for the fillet and then find out how they can be modified or refined for better and more controlled results. Let's zoom in to this back row of examples. The command solid fillet edge you may not realize has several ways to input the fillets. The default is called rolling ball. So imagine this edge that just got filleted. It had an imaginary sphere that ran around that edge. The result is we have a radius equal to this sphere that rolled around. Now it looks very clean and nice for a couple of reasons. This is a short path, but these two surfaces, the top and walls, are perpendicular, which means the angle also doesn't change, and therefore this radius stays the same and the rails stay the same. The rails are simply the two edges of the fillet. Here's the bottom rail, here is the top rail. Those stay the…
