Support for Chamfer/Fillet

[MattFerraro]

Hello,

I'd love to see support for Chamfer and Fillet commands within Truck. Is that on the roadmap? What do you think it would take to implement?

Cheers

Thank you for your question.

The fillet creation will be implemented at some point, but we are not yet in a position to factor it into our concrete plans.

I wonder if its possible to do this today with the Shell.cut_edge() method?

1. Identify every edge which forms a wire bounding the face you want to chamfer
2. For each edge, use cut_edge twice (once for topside, once for side side) to make a new edge, offset from the corner by the chamfer distance
3. Update the previous edges to be colinear with the sloped/chamfered surface, basically redundant
4. .. vibes?

We are gradually starting to implement it with the aim of doing so by the middle of next year. Here is a prototype based on NURBS, but there are still a lot of numeric errors, so we are going to prepare a structure that calculates more accurately and use NURBS to approximate it for the purposes of speeding up and STEP output.
