Creating a Trimmed Blend Curve

This option can be used to:

  • Create a fitted, circular curve between two non-planar wireframe objects and trim the unwanted parts.
  • Create a fillet between two discontinuous corners of a single curve.

Lines, arcs, curves and composite curves can be filleted using this option, and there are 8 trim solutions.

To create a trimmed blend curve:

  1. Click Wireframe tab > Create panel > Fillet > Trimmed Blend.
  2. Click the first position to define the start tangent of the curve.
  3. Click the second position to define the end tangent of the curve.

    The new fillet curve is created and the objects are trimmed. The fillet curve is a two point Bézier curve.

  4. Use the Trim Solution dialog to display each of 8 trimmed fillet solutions:

    Next Solution — Click to display each of 8 trimmed fillet solutions.

    OK — Click to accept the solution displayed.
